>Does anyone know why NASA's open source code isn't in the public domain like it's supposed to be?

That only applies to works done by federal employees. Most of the coding is probably done by contractors, who are not required to release their work under public domain. However, it seems NASA might have made it a part of the contract to release the code under an open source license.
