Dear all,
I need to make sure that changes just made to the next iteration of the
UCR doc are acceptable, particularly to OGC and the Geosemantics DWG.
The use case provided by Stefan Lemme [1] includes some examples of 3D
graphics which reuse code that is available under the MIT licence as
well as a snippet that he has been able to confirm is in the public
domain [2]. Following the advice of our legal counsel [3], I have added
a sentence to the acknowledgements section of the document [4]. This
addition, plus the addition of the change history, links to the diff and
GitHub Repository, have all occurred since the preparation of the PDF
that is in the OGC Pending folder.
As you'll recognise, these changes only apply to the meta sections of
the document, the substantive content of which is entirely unchanged. I
have attached a PDF of the updated document should it be needed.
If these changes do mean that we need to delay publication, which as you
know is currently scheduled for next Thursday, 17 December, please let
me know ASAP as I have already sent the publication request to our
webmaster [5].
Please note that the wording of the publication request makes it clear
that it is conditional on receiving a final go ahead from OGC. We need
this by *Wednesday 16th* if publication is to go ahead. This is because
there are several people involved with our formal publication process,
all of whom are in different time zones (Beijing, Réunion, Sophia Antipolis)
Thanks
Phil.
