US Government code authored by US Govt. employees is one of the few things that
remains public domain _in the US_
Here, you have code written by contractors for the US government. Is there a
contact for LANL anywhere ? - if you ask LANL themselves, they may be able to
establish who owns the code now and how to free it up appropriately. They will
have access to corporate policies / lawyers etc. for their situation and can
get permission to give permission.
All the best,
