Using information from other open-standards bodies as OASIS reference materials

["Beims Bob" <bob.beims@freescale.com>]

Mary, Don;

The DITA TC SIDSC is planning on utilizing public information from two other standards bodies, spiritconsortium.org and opencores.org, as reference material to help us refine our data models for specialization. You can see links to some of their material posted on our wiki:

http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/Semiconductor/UseCases/RegisterElements

We will not be using their information in any work products of the subcommittee, their information will be used solely to validate the completeness and correctness of the SIDSC work.

Are there legal issues we need to be careful about in this respect?

Regards,
Bob
