nasa-de-acquisition pack — content licence
===========================================

This pack is derived from:
    NASA Digital Engineering Acquisition Framework Handbook (NASA-HDBK-1004)
    NASA, Office of the NASA Chief Engineer, Baseline (approved 2020-04-01),
    superseding NASA-HDBK-0008

Source licence: Public Domain (US Government work)  (tier 1 — see ../../docs/SOURCE-VETTING.md)
No source-material download link is published (see ../../docs/LICENSING.md).

This source is a NASA Technical Handbook, prepared by the United States Government
(NASA), and was reviewed and "APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE — DISTRIBUTION IS UNLIMITED."
The KSC Export Control Office determined it does not meet the criteria for control under
the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) or the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR). As a work of the U.S. Government it is NOT subject to copyright
protection in the United States: anyone may reproduce, transform, and redistribute it for
any purpose, including commercially, without permission. The Handbook itself is published
as a guidance document — it provides engineering information, lessons learned, and
options, and (per its own Foreword) does not establish binding requirements except to the
extent specified or referenced in applicable contracts, grants, or agreements.

THIRD-PARTY MATERIAL CAVEAT: NASA-HDBK-1004 names and invokes numerous third-party
standards — including ISO 10303 (STEP) application protocols, ASME Y14 drawing/GD&T/
digital-product-definition standards, MIL-STD-31000 (Technical Data Packages), the SAE
EIA-649 / EIA-649-2 / GEIA-859 configuration- and data-management standards, ISO/IEC/IEEE
42010, ISO/IEC 11578, and FAR/DFARS clauses — which remain the copyright of their
respective publishers and are NOT in the public domain. This pack reproduces none of that
third-party text. It contains only synthesized, transformed reference notes that NAME
those standards and describe, in original words, how the Handbook invokes them.

Attribution to NASA is provided as a courtesy (see the repository NOTICE), not a legal
obligation. NASA does not endorse this pack or its authors. The example Data Requirements
Descriptions and contract clauses summarized here are a starter library intended to be
tailored per program/project and reviewed through Legal and Procurement before any binding
contractual use. This pack pairs with NASA-HDBK-1009A as a complementary reference.
