[net.unix] Entering code into the public domain

jmleonar@crdc.arpa (Dr. Joseph M. Leonard) (01/10/86)

My question: I have developed a large body of software to support scientific
applications.  Much of this code has been acquired from the public domain,
or written locally (I work for the Army).  How do get a 10-20 Meg body of
code into the public domain without publishing every line of it?  Please
reply (with any comments, flames...) to me directly.

                                                   Joe Leonard

If you did the work while working for the U.S. Army, it is already essentially
public domain, with certain restrictions.
