Re-using this document
An instrumentality of the Government of the Virgin Islands. No rights are stated anywhere: the document carries no copyright notice and the body publishes no terms of use. 17 U.S.C. § 105 does not reach territorial government, so nothing makes it public domain by operation of federal law — it publishes as a territorial public record, and we say plainly that the position is unstated rather than settled.
Our description, tagging, arrangement, extracted text and machine transcripts are released under CC0 1.0. We assert nothing about the document itself.
