  • CC0 = Everyone owns it, no one can claim rights to it

    Copyleft = No one owns it, the code owns itself and claims rights to itself

    Since everyone paid for it, everyone owns it.

    If no one paid for it, or if a single owning entity is feeling benevolent, then copyleft is appropriate.

    I assume it would be difficult to get the consent of every US taxpayer to license this as copyleft, I believe CC0 (or proprietary, unfortunately) is the rightful default when in this situation. It’s debatable whether any government code should be proprietary, save for deployment secrets.
