Keep Track of Change.gov on the iPhone

There is a well-accepted practice that anything released by a United States president while in office is in the public domain, free of copyright. When change.gov, President-Elect Obama’s transition website went live, many noted that the site was protected by traditional copyright. Obama’s transition team quickly made the correction, switching the site to the most open of the Creative Commons licenses, Attribution 3.0 (essentially making the content free to all, requiring only that attribution be given to change.gov).
