Phil, Adding the MIT license would further complicate an already complex Intellectual Property environment for SDW. Is it necessary to include the examples of 3D graphics that triggers that inclusion? Unless there is objection, the specific example and the MIT license should be dropped.

Following the advice of our legal counsel [3], I have added a sentence to the acknowledgements section of the document [4].

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. > > > [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/NOTE-sdw-ucr-20151217/#IncorporatingGeospatialDataIntoInteractive3DGraphicsOnTheWeb > > [2] https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sdw-wg/2015Dec/0067.html > > [3] https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sdw-wg/2015Dec/0070.html > > [4] http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/NOTE-sdw-ucr-20151217/#ack > > [5] https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sdw-wg/2015Dec/0068.html > > -- > > > Phil Archer > W3C Data Activity Lead > http://www.w3.org/2013/data/ > > http://philarcher.org > +44 (0)7887 767755 > @philarcher1 > <2015-12-17-sdw-ucr.pdf>
