Where is that claim made?
The licence template is {{PD-old}}. I would guess slight
non-robustness in the daily-image-l script.
Yes, don't worry, I noticed too... as Greg has noted before, the PD
license categories are not easy to neatly enumerate.
As for the claim, note this was made a FP back in 2005 and it is not
hard to guess standards were less stringent then. Because of the
decision to only host FP/QI as POTD, some quite old nominations that
were never made POTD, are now showing up.
AFAIK no one checks on a regular basis, that the copyright claims of
POTDs are actually reasonable.
I eventually found it:

(search at
http://arcweb.archives.gov/arc/basic_search.jsp for '531006')
it's been cleaned up a lot, but also FLIPPED! wonder if that was intentional?
It was created by the DoD.
