Speaking as an Editor of some of the specifications in the VCWG, yes, I am concerned. The content seemed questionable when I saw it, but assumed the Editors of that specification had cleared all the necessary IP hurdles to include that markup. > Specifically, these constructs appear in two examples* without attribution, explanation or reference. Could this raise issues related to publication process/procedure, intellectual property rights, or document clarity? I had presumed that these examples were using things that were cleared by the Editors of that document and/or approved by or worked on at IETF. I believe one of the former Editors added that markup to the document w/o much of a discussion in the group and the current Editors took over the document w/o the sort of warning you're providing. It looks like we need to have a discussion about using markup/content that does not have clear IP protections wrt. SD-JWT examples. I have raised an issue to track this concern: https://github.com/w3c/vc-jose-cose/issues/269 -- manu -- Manu Sporny - https://www.linkedin.com/in/manusporny/ Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. https://www.digitalbazaar.com/
