Policies for Contribution of Test Cases to W3C

The document Policies for Contribution of Test Cases to W3C "discusses patent, copyright, and liability issues surrounding the contribution of test cases to W3C. The purpose of this policy is to clarify the terms for contributing test cases to W3C and to facilitate contributions from Working Group Participants.".

Note #1: the test cases for Widgets specs will not be published in a Recommendation track document.

Note #2: members of the WebApps WG agreed to the W3C's copyright policy before joining the WG. However, if a non-WG member wants to contribute a test case, they must agree to the terms of Grant II as stated in Policies for Contribution of Test Cases to W3C.
