Our IP lawyers have already said CC0 (or any license) that says you are a copyright holder and then relinquishing or reassigning said copyright is automatically a no go. U.S. fed civilian code does not have a copyright holder (in most cases). You can still use CC0 to waive copyright outside the U.S. (where public domain is recognized).

See #52, #37, #24.

https://github.com/deptofdefense/code.mil/blob/master/FAQ.md#since-software-created-by-us-federal-government-employees-does-not-have-copyright-protections-in-the-us-why-not-just-put-it-in-the-public-domain-and-use-cc0-10-for-international-jurisdictions-where-you-have-copyright

Duplicate with #24,#37,#38,#52, and the FAQ.

To clarify, this effort is an attempt to find an alternate option or path for government projects to join the open source community.

This project does NOT claim that CC0 is an invalid approach. We'll update FAQ.md to make this a bit more clear. Let us know

Closing as duplicate.

@iadgovuser1: thanks, i was in the middle of writing this when your response popped up.
