Ace, stating that BP works for the government is fantastical. They did no such thing since they weren't acting as a contractor. If that's the case, then anyone who applies for any sort of federal license is then working for the government. It's an assinine assumption - unless you're going to start calling ranchers, prospectors, truckers, etc. government contractors - an idea that would probably deeply offend every one of those folks.
So your concept is inherently flawed and completely unworkable in reality.
