In the US, you do not need to declare copyright, it is implicit (the Berne
Convention provides it), but this is a little tricker, because the author wrote
this code while working at the USGS.

Since the USGS is a division of the United States Government, this code is
considered "a work of the United States government" which, as defined by United
States copyright law, is "a work prepared by an officer or employee of the U.S.
government as part of that person's official duties."

All such works are not entitled to domestic copyright protection under U.S. law,
sometimes referred to as "noncopyright." They are considered to automatically be
in the Public Domain.

(The only possible exception to this would be if the author was writing this
code as a contractor for the USGS, and part of the contract specified the
copyright and licensing for the code. Since this is obviously not the case, we
can ignore this exception.)

So, we're ok to ship this, marked as Public Domain.
