    If you read the copyright notice on the website, it links to the relevant law, which starts with:

    Copyright protection under this title is not available for any work of the United States Government, but the United States Government is not precluded from receiving and holding copyrights transferred to it by assignment, bequest, or otherwise.

    So it’s not a copyright violation, since it’s a US government work (and doesn’t fall under the exceptions listed in the law).
