[ID Discuss] Government work does not mean that the work is public.

[Juhan Sonin]

Government work does not mean that work is public. Regardless of data
sensitivity, the project belongs to the government agency.. and the IP
and client should be respected. Only with specific permission from the
agency should the results be published or housed on publically
available web space.

Yours,
Juhan
