NASA Releases Latest Software Catalog to Public to Spur Tech Innovation (space.com)

Some quick search counts for the catalog:

25 matches for "U.S. and Foreign Release"

67 for "General Public Release"

175 for "Open Source"

212 for "U.S. Release Only"

225 for "U.S. Government Purpose Release"

So a good chunk of stuff is openly available, but there's a lot that could still be opened up.

Wonderful; now we can proactively modify Curiosity's code to act as an interplanetary telegraph so Matt Damon doesn't have to do it once he gets stranded there.

I attempted to request access to some 3 of their projects and was denied because it was 'Government Use Only' and I did not try pretending I was another Government Agency.

I love the idea but it seems it is not as 'released' or as open as I initially thought it was.
