OSTI, located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, serves as the Department’s central announcement mechanism for DOE-sponsored software. It also serves as the Department’s software management facility for the collection, licensing, and distribution of federally funded software that is developed by national laboratories and other DOE facilities/contractors (subject to the exceptions listed in paragraph 3.1). OSTI uses the services of the Energy Science and Technology Software Center (ESTSC) for unclassified software distribution. OSTI serves as the Department’s exclusive availability point, other than the copyright holder (or its licensees), for DOE and DOE-contractor originated software for which copyright has been asserted. In a decentralized environment, the originating site may choose to retain the software, but must provide form, DOE F 241.4 to OSTI for announcement according to DOE O 241.1A.
