Talk:Secretary of Defense-Empowered Cross-Functional Teams

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because the quotes come from US Federal Government published reports, memorandums, and documents. These documents are not copyrighted per US copyright law; section 105 of the Copyright Act, which specifies that such works are not entitled to domestic copyright protection under U.S. law and are therefore in the public domain.

One document quoted is an official memorandum signed by the Secretary of Defense. The memo meets the definition "a work prepared by an officer or employee" of the federal government "as part of that person's official duties" work of the United States government, and is therefore in public domain.

The other document is a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report. This report also falls under section 105 of the Copyright Act. Further, according to the GAO website, "GAO's products and information on GAO's Web site are not protected by copyright law in the United States and may be copied and distributed in their entirety without permission from GAO." Additionally, these documents are also covered under section 105 of the Copyright Act.

Further, the quotes are appropriately cited in the entry, giving credit to the works from which the wording was derived.

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because it has been written by the US government (people working officially for it) and therefore it is unsuitable for being protected by copyright. --Tgeorgescu (talk) 19:55, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
