I have difficulties to understand why it is not possible with the current W3C Document License. What you are doing is not a derivative work nor a full copy of the document, but just quotations of it, which is already authorized by the document license. Maybe we should first identify what are the use cases and see if the set of licenses, we have from W3C Document Licenses to others, covers or not the use cases. So far I see * Publishing the full or parts of a specification in a book to be sold. * Include prose of the specification in software from proprietary to complete open source Something else? -- Karl Dubost Montréal, QC, Canada http://twitter.com/karlpro
