Subject: RE: [election-services] NEW IPR POLICY
David hi. OK "which by definition is open" Surely the fact that the EML spec has been created by a technical committee of an organisation which promotes e-business standards, and in this particular case by more than one supplier and individuals would mean that any output from the committee is open for others to use free of charge. The fact that we are dealing with an XML syntax means that this code is not hidden and is open to all to see and download. (And change if they wish). Unless of course any of the companies and or individuals have already stated that there input is subject to license restrictions. (John?). Here I am talking specifically about the output thus far, ie the EML syntax. Which the use of is open and the source code available to be downloaded and modified without any license restrictions (See company caviat above). However I am, as allways, open to be corrected on this. I am also keeping well away from any future outputs from the committee in this statement, and maybe before any IPR (if any) policy is chosen we need to look at what the committee will be going on to do. IEEE convergance EML White Papers Specific supplier product case studies Application creation Etc. and then decide which policy to align to.
