I took that to refer to security clearance, not copyright or lack
thereof (it goes on to talk about passwords, etc.)  But most u.s.
federal govt info is in the public domain, as it should be since the
public paid for it.  At the Department of State site everything that
doesn't have an explicity copyright notice is in the public domain;
the CIA releases their World Factbook each year into the public
domain; there are some excellent navy pages on ships and sailors for
people into that stuff, NASA's and NOAA's excellent photos are in the
public domain etc.
