Right. I don't think that Mossad can make a copyright claim against their
numbers broadcasts. Likewise the Brits, the Cubans, et al. You can't lay a
copyright claim to content you can't/won't disclose and whose sole intent is
clandestine and yet out in the open for all to hear. Patents are another issue
though.
