+Hi Pat,
+
+Yes all code available on the NCEP website, including cnvgrib, is
+public domain.
+
+I will pass along the request to add the public domain message to
+the documentation of cnvgrib.

+
+Hello,
+
+It is possible that I am not adressing this mail to the right people,
+but this seems to me to be the simplest way to reach the right people.
+
+On
+http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/codes/GRIB2/
+there are some codes, but the license isn't stated anywhere. It could
+mean Public Domain if there was no author mention, but there is some
+mention of the authors, like
+ PRGMMR: Gilbert
+(I only checked g2clib and g2lib, I don't know for the other softwares).
+
+On the disclaimer page:
+http://www.weather.gov/disclaimer.php
+there is no reference to the programming codes found on the site, only
+to data and text.
+
+My feeling is that these codes are public domain, but I prefer to ask to
+be sure. Also if it is true, maybe you could mention it in the README?
+
+Cordially,
+
+--
+Pat
