open source copyright language

[Stephen Adler]

Thanks guys,

In order to help me narrow my search, I just want to mention that the 
work is done under contract for the US government for the department of 
health and human services. I'm not sure how this would affect the 
selection of the copyright. Basically, the code is paid for out of your 
tax dollars.... It should be open and out there in true freedom software 
fashion.

Cheers. Steve.
