Subject: Re: [legalxml-comment] CALL FOR PAPERS : Workshop on Regulatory Ontologies an...


One of the difficulties is that the OASIS IP policy prohibits the use of any material in contributions that reserves IP claims such as trade secrets so that the OASIS copyright in the standards effort and supporting documentation is free and clear of all such claims. This is different from patent claims that may affect the standards adopted by OASIS, where disclosure to the Executive Board and a commitment to reasonable and non-discriminatory licensing is the general rule.

I also wonder about the propriety of posting non-OASIS and non-LegalXML calls for papers on a comment list. Obviously there has to be some flexibility, but I thought the lists were supposed to be reserved for comments on LegalXML OASIS work, not as an announcement vehicle.
