RE: [docbook-tc] OASIS DocBook TC Meeting Agenda 13 September 2017

["Rowland, Larry" <larry.rowland@hpe.com>]

With respect to my action items:

  1. Attached please find license-experiment.xml with a sample of how legalnotice might be extended to handle licenses.  It is not intended as a final solution but as a starting point for discussion and provides solutions to a number of issues we deal with in a large software product that has its own license and uses many components (both commercial and open source), each with their own licensing requirements.  I have commented the file with a number of notes about why things are done and provide alternatives in a couple of places.

 2. Richard Quadling replied to my query about whether the <types> wrapper was necessary with the following:
               Whilst I like the wrapper, I can see that it doesn't offer anything semantically. If this is the only sticking 
               point then I'm happy to do away with it. The main requirement is to allow for multiple types for parameters
               to methods/functions as well as return types.
For the full discussion, see https://github.com/docbook/docbook/issues/91

Regards,
Larry Rowland
