Hi! At https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-241 the Apache Software Foundation is trying to figure out what is the license for an ontology downloaded from http://www.openannotation.org/spec/core/ which says: > Copyright © 2012-2013 the Contributors to the Open Annotation Core Data Model Specification, published by the Open Annotation Community Group under the W3C Community Contributor License Agreement (CLA). A human-readable summary is available. However the CLA does not read like a license to readers, but as a CLA for contributors. Particularly it is very confusing who is "You" and who the license is granted to (the readers? w3c? Other community members) Are the discussions from https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-241 considered somewhat correct? In that as long as the material is at least 45 days old, then it is safe for Apache Software Foundation to use files like https://www.w3.org/ns/oa/oa.rdf under a BSD-like license? -- Stian Soiland-Reyes, eScience Lab School of Computer Science The University of Manchester http://soiland-reyes.com/stian/work/ http://orcid.org/0000-0001-9842-9718
