In general you can't assume that any data or document from the government is not copyrighted since contractors often hold joint copyright (and patents, etc.) with the government, and there are more contractors than civil service...
In any case, based on Ira's statement I'm thinking we'll want to reference the NIST definitions and describe how Cloud Imaging fits in...

>> While I like the substance of the definition, I am uneasy about copying their words like this - it would be good to contact the authors to get their written permission so that we credit them appropriately in the cloud model spec.
>> Also, since we *are* doing Cloud Imaging, we probably want the definition to use Cloud Imaging instead of Cloud Printing and Imaging Device instead of Printer.
