Schema.org applies W3C Patent Policy

Those who were at the Social Standards workshop last August will
remember a discussion with Guha over schema.org and licensing. People
should  know that Schema.org has now changed their licensing to be
royalty-free in the following manner:

"The Sponsors have applied the W3C Patent Policy to the schemas
published by Schema.org as follows: each Sponsor, by itself and on
behalf of its affiliates, agrees to make available under W3C RF
licensing requirements its Essential Claims (if any) in the schemas
published by Schema.org as if the schemas were W3C Recommendations. In
some cases, this website may indicate that some but not all of the
Sponsors have recognized a particular extension to the Schema; in
those cases, as to that extension, the above rights are granted by
only those recognizing Sponsors. " [1]

   cheers,
