Document licenses...

Hi,

a while ago there was a discussion driven by the HTMLWG about W3C's  
copyright license. The request boiled down to "we want the right to fork  
W3C specs", and W3C decided that wouldn't happen.

But along the way there was a lot of discussion about things like  
including the spec in documentation, or tutorials, which is formally not  
allowed by the current license. Opera's formal position is that we would  
like to loosen the existing license to allow such uses, even if forking  
remains explicitly prohibited. Are there others who think this would be an  
improvement that is worth the effort of achieving it?

cheers
