Regarding the MIT licensing and Section 105 of US copyright law

[Titaniumtown]

The current license (the MIT license), on line 3, states:

Copyright (c) 2021 Library of Congress

But section 105 of US copyright law states that:

Copyright protection under this title is not available for any work of the United States Government, but the United States Government is not precluded from receiving and holding copyrights transferred to it by assignment, bequest, or otherwise.

Shouldn't this be public domain as with any other "work of the United States Government"?

Copied from another @LibraryOfCongress repo the license should likely be

however this raises issues with external contributors, I won't pretend to be a copyright laywer but likely they would need to transfer ownership to the US Gov or the work would need to be dual licensed under the above/MIT where any work from the US Gov is under the above and any external contributions are under MIT
