FREE here does not necessarily mean "without cost".  Each of the components
in the repository can be had for $50 each duplicating costs, with a maximum
of $2000.  It is also not clear (to me) what the data rights on this
software are either.  It may be government owned, (and I didn't have to sign
any licensing forms to get it) but the one component that I ordered contains
a lot of copyright notices.  It also appears that one or more of the
original contractors are marketing "commercial" versions of their
developments (e.g., the X Windows binding, Universal File Names, etc.)
