TERMS CARRIED FORWARD
---------------------
The M&Q BoK is a work prepared by officers and employees of the United States
Government as part of their official duties. Under 17 U.S.C. 105 such works are NOT
subject to copyright protection in the United States and are in the public domain. The
document was reviewed and approved for public release (Distribution A — unlimited

Accordingly:
  - This material may be freely reproduced, adapted, transformed, and redistributed,
    including for commercial purposes.
  - No attribution is legally required. Attribution to OUSD(R&E) is provided here and in
    PACK.yaml as a professional courtesy.
  - There is no non-commercial restriction and no share-alike obligation.
  - The DoD / OUSD(R&E) does not endorse, and is not affiliated with, this pack or
    JG Systems Consulting Ltd.
  - The BoK is a compilation of best practices and lessons learned; it does NOT
    supersede DoD policy, guidance, instruction (e.g. DoDI 5000.02), or law. This pack
    is informational and inherits that non-authoritative status.

THIRD-PARTY MATERIAL (NOT REPRODUCED)
-------------------------------------
The BoK names and applies third-party industry and consensus standards that remain the
copyright of their respective publishers, including (non-exhaustive): SAE/AS6500,
AS9100, AS9102, AS9103, AS9145, AS5553, AS6174; ISO 9001; IEEE 15288.1 and 15288.2;
and MIL-STD-881. This pack does NOT reproduce the text of those standards. It cites
them by designation and describes, in original wording, how the BoK directs them to be
used. For normative requirements, consult the standards themselves from their
publishers (SAE International, ISO, IEEE).
