I always remember this passage from 17 USC § 105, ever since I got that "proud to be an American" feeling when I saw it posted above a copier in the Bodleian Library, next to a passage on the restrictions imposed by Crown Copyright.

Unfortunately, most NASA work is done under contract, rather than by government employees, and is therefore subject to some form of copyright protection. The science data is, however, public domain after that 6 month period. Not copyright can or is held over it. Where a copyright CAN be held is over an 'original work' - which any mosaic can technically be said to be. Doug |
