There are several main differences:
- the Advisory Board has given its opinion, which means the point
doesn't came solely from us - we don't have any weight with regard to
the process operations, while the AB is the keeper of the process
document
- the XML Query WG has shown that it was possible in the end to get
agreement from major vendors for the document license for test cases
- this is specifically focused on test cases, not on all test materials

Does that answer your questions? I'm sorry this seems to arrive from
nowhere, and I wish there were more materials accessible; there is a
"Test Suite copyright policies" FAQ in preparation, which will have more
details and to which we can link once it's available.
