Hi Dave, I've noted some ambiguity with respect to the disposition of HTML Tidy on SF. I can't find any copyright notice in: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/tidy/ and on: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tidy it does not state the owner, and mistakenly (?) states MIT License. The SF FAQ states that the author of the materials is the owner [1] and one should avoid the misconception that, "software does not actually have a license holder, because of its free nature." [1] http://gro.clinux.org/docs/site/faq.php#whohost-owns If the software, or some part, is owned by the W3C, it should have a document describing the ownership, for example: http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/copyright-software-short-notice http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/copyright-software and the SF project should be tweaked to reflect the W3C Software License is the operative license. http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=320 (If this is not the case, again, it would be useful to have a document making this clear.)
