Generally, govt works (like agency logos) are in the public domain by default. But NSA gets some special restrictions in PL 86-36 §15(a).

@rsingel so starting from the point that I agree, I'd also like to say: this isn't © (or even ™), so normal "fair use" may not apply.

@sarahjeong I disagree on Fair Use. I'd wager w/ any actual showdown of law that Fair Use would be dragged into it. -
@rsingel > Green's use just plainly doesn't fall under the statute, as with that Zazzle shirt. No person out there is confused by these uses -
@rsingel (IANAL) -
@sarahjeong Me neither. Just guessing a brief defending the use would rely heavily on fair use, which derives from 1st Amendment. -
@rsingel@sarahjeong ok I know not everybody is a copyright nerd, but fair use and 1A have an interesting relationship. Writing abt it now. -

@sarahjeong@xor@rsingel so fair use, (c), etc. might be analogized in order to understand the 1A issues, but that's it. -
@adamsteinbaugh@xor@rsingel Yeah, it's a good footnote/parenthetical, but not the primary legal arg.
