Re: Question about schema.org in a triple store?

I think it says pretty clearly that any third party ("and other third parties") is granted a CC BY-SA 3.0 license:

    "The Sponsors' copyrights in these schemas are licensed to website publishers and other third parties under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (version 3.0). "

As far as external contributions are concerned, all GoodRelations elements are also available under a CC BY 3.0 license, see
