I think of it this way. A
subcommittee is not the full TC. So a subcommittee cannot promulgate
specifications, public drafts, etc. or otherwise act on behalf of the entire
TC or OASIS. They can discuss, weigh alternatives, refine, etc.,
and at the end of their work they vote to dissolve and bring something
before the full TC. So, I'm not sure there is really anything there
to attach a licence to until it is submitted to the full TC, at which point
it would be treated like any other submission to the TC.
For example, how is this different than
something done entirely in the TC, in the case where a single member writes
a draft of a document which is then given to the entire TC for inclusion
into the spec? Does the draft have a different licence during the
period it is being drafted? I don't think so. I think the
point of the subcommittee is to allow parallel and more specialized discussions
of topics than possible within the constraints of our weekly TC meeting.
But I don't think a subcommittee is delegated any authority to adopt
their own licence.

Thanks for setting up this list.
I have wanted to ask this, but haven't found the right channels to
ask. If a subcommittee is created in OASIS and their work is
incorporated into OpenDocument will it be under the same license as
the original OpenDocument v1.0?
