I'm writing to inform you that the W3C is now using a new software license and the link [0] to the W3C Software License found on your site [1] is a dynamic one which points to the latest version of our license. Consequently, it now refers to the latest version [2] which is intended to still be GPL compatible. Thank you. [0] http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/copyright-software.html [1] http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html [2] http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2002/copyright-software-20021231 ... This formulation of W3C's notice and license became active on December 31 2002. This version removes the copyright ownership notice such that this license can be used with materials other than those owned by the W3C, reflects that ERCIM is now a host of the W3C, includes references to this specific dated version of the license, and removes the ambiguous grant of "use". Otherwise, this version is the same as the previous version and is written so as to preserve the Free Software Foundation's assessment of GPL compatibility and OSI's certification under the Open Source Definition.... -- Joseph Reagle Jr. http://www.w3.org/People/Reagle/ W3C Policy Analyst mailto:reagle@w3.org IETF/W3C XML-Signature Co-Chair http://www.w3.org/Signature/ W3C XML Encryption Chair http://www.w3.org/Encryption/2001/
