As mentioned in my previous mail, I am creating a package for
hashcash.  The source for the package includes a document,
fip180-1.txt, which is a copy of the Federal Information Processing
Standards Publication 180-1 (the definition for SHA-1).  I am unable to
determine whether or not FIPS documents are free, and was wondering if
anyone had any experience with that.

The FIPS home page is: http://www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/

Again, please cc me as I am not subscribed.


All works of the United States Government (of which FIPS 180-1 is one)
are ineligible for copyright and are explicitly public domain.

There are public domain only in the United States, IIRC
