histinfo@hq.nasa.gov didn't specify if this img was gov't work but I presume it is (due to presence of Press Secretary) and page on which it was presented displayed no notice otherwise.

NASA's terms of use in their reply (in part): "NASA images and written information are not protected by copyright unless noted. If copyrighted, permission should be obtained from the copyright owner prior to use. If not copyrighted, you may download photos or text you see on our Web sites provided that you supply proper attribution with a footnote."

So I shall presume this is free for use as gov't work with attribution to NASA.

I'm tagging this US Fed Gov't rather than NASA as I presume it's a White House shot, though since it came from NASA's web site they should get a footnote.
