One minor correction. U.S. Documents can be freely copied by U.S. citizens
within the U.S. Otherwise, permission must be obtained from the
originating body.

Very interesting and actually quite relevant to a book I'm writing now.
Quick question: In the U.S. government documents are not protected by
copyright and can be reproduced freely. A quick look at
http://www.olf.gouv.qc.ca/propriete.html tells me that this is not
the case in Canada, and I would need to get permission before
reprinting the picture at
http://www.olf.gouv.qc.ca/images/clavier.gif in my book. However, My
French isn't nearly good enough for me to trust my translation; and
my knowledge of Canadian law is zilch. If anyone does know for sure
that permission is or is not required to reproduce a government
document, would you please let me know? Thanks. Right now I'm
assuming it is required.
