     I would hope that someone would recognize that if government financially supports, (c) should belong to the body public.

     @chriswaterguy Not that there is any such requirement that I know of, but there should be: govt $ + research --> citizens part-own (c).

     Agreed! US Federal Govt's policy on !publicdomain is a good model for other govts, & for a default policy for universities.

     @chriswaterguy it doesn't work very well in practice I don't think...with all the contractors...or perhaps not as well as I'd like

     True - on the one hand there is an enormous amount of !public domain content by US fed govt, but there's a big grey area too. #gov20
