“Copyright laws differ internationally. While a U.S. government work
is not protectable under U.S. copyright laws, the work may be
protected under the copyright laws of other jurisdictions when used in
these jurisdictions. The U.S. government may assert copyright outside
of the United States for U.S. government works.”

“Therefore, the U.S. Government may obtain protection in other
countries depending on the treatment of government works by the
national copyright law of the particular country. Copyright is
sometimes asserted by U.S. Government agencies outside the United
States.”
