True, but what the copyright notice takes away, the license gives back.
In the U.S., there is a legal requirement that what the Federal
government writes through its own employees (as opposed to what it pays
to have written for it) is P.D.; however the government is a legal
person and can have copyrights assigned to it.  State governments
can copyright their written works.
