Still reading/learning about the

it'll really help contributions from the non-US community. This gives
US Gov employees/contractors what they need for Public Domain
protections, and non-US Gov people can follow an agreed license like
MIT/GPL etc.
Added bonus: This might also be a way to solve a long-standing gripe
about certain vendors using the SSG content without attribution.
Philippe: Can you review the
code.mil process?
As far as i know, it would be perfect. This should resolve the copyright
problem for other countries like France.
It's even better if, as you said, it also resolve the problem of vendors
using SSG without attribution. However, maybe we can decide of an
unified Open-source license to avoid multiplicity of licenses in the
same project.
We can use BSD-3 (as described in [1], which is clearly permissive), or
license such as (L)GPL, which is more restrictive depending on how the
community which to protect itself against vendors.
