Hi,
Yes I am suggesting that if the country of origin of the work does not assign
copyright to the work then no copyright is assigned world-wide. My reasoning is
that there is no entity to assign that copyright to.
An example in a different field might support my argument.

Is that the correct interpretation of the Berne convention? The convention
assigns copyright to foreigners of a signatory state with at least as strong
protection as own nationals. Since US government does not attract copyright I
am unsure if they can attract copyright in other jurisdictions.

Hi, my name is Cem Karan. I work for the US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) in
Adelphi, MD. I'm in charge of defining the Open Source policy for ARL. As a
part of this, we need a license that meets our legal and regulatory needs, but
is ideally fully interchangeable with everything licensed under
