Unfortunately, the government’s left hand did not know what its right hand was doing. Senior Judge Bruggink. (p. 9, Court of Federal Claims opinion on 4DD Holdings, LLC and T4 Data Group, LLC.
This COFC opinion involves "a software developer’s claim for copyright infringement." It involves actions by contracting officers and contracting officer's technical representatives.

A very interesting read. It would be interesting as to what, if anything, happened to Mr. Calvin and Ms. Swenson?

Unfortunately similar situations occur throughout government. It’s generally caused by a lack of understand intellectual property in general and licensing specifically. It seems to occur with both program and contracting personnel.
In this court case, I suspect destroying documents was just to keep the employees from looking bad.
Training in intellectual property should be mandatory for COs, CORs, and PM.
