This is the first time I've chimed in on any of these threads. A point also missing, much like the "F-104" designator came from the USAF, thus the taxpayers, thus public domain. Likewise, in most cases the very "intellectual" issue, the design and it shape, even if originally paid for out of corporate funds, was purchased by the US Government. The designer was paid for his design with tax Dollars too.
LM and the other manufacures should have to proove that they specifically retained certain rights to the designed payed for by the government.
