Hi Robert, dear list, cc-by-sa-nc is not considered "open" according to http://opendefinition.org due to the non commercial (nc) part. Do you have commercial interests with the specification? The licence seems to be very unlike the W3C, who claims to provide recommendations as Royality Free: http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20040205/#sec-Licensing Personally, I am always unsure what people intend with adding non-commercial to their licence. It implies that I would have to pay something in case I am using any part in a commercial application. Is this the intention? The NLP Interchange format will be CC-BY, which is the licence most appropriate for academic content in my opinion. All the best, Sebastian -- Dipl. Inf.
