Topic: W3C Document license
18:34:12 [MikeSmith]
Jeff: discussion of the document license predates my arrival at W3C
18:34:20 [pimpbot]
bugmail: [Bug 14696] New: This is no longer true: "The end date is encoded as one day after the last date of the event because in the iCalendar format, end dates are exclusive, not inclusive" — so remove ...value="2007-10-20">19... <11http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-bugzilla/2011Nov/0299.html> 4** [Bug 14696] This is no longer true: "The end date is encoded as one day after the last date of the event because in the iCalendar format,

18:34:44 [adrianba]

18:34:55 [MikeSmith]
... So, several years ago, the HTML WG determined that the W3C document license did not work for them
18:34:58 [KevinMarks]
KevinMarks has joined #html-wg
18:35:16 [MikeSmith]
... and the group came up with a list of 11 use cases that were not possible with the current W3C document license
18:35:23 [YW]
YW has joined #html-wg
18:35:34 [MikeSmith]
... the chairs of the HTML WG then brought that list to the W3C Team
18:36:02 [MikeSmith]
... and the W3C Team took that list of use cases to the W3C Advisory Committee
18:36:27 [abarsto]
abarsto has joined #html-wg
18:36:39 [MikeSmith]
... the W3C AC agreed with the majority of the use cases, but not with the use cases related to so-called "forking"
18:36:57 [Ruinan]
Ruinan has joined #html-wg
18:36:58 [MikeSmith]
... which put the Team sort of between a rock and a hard place
18:37:47 [MikeSmith]
... it turned out that coming up a a suitable license was very difficult
18:38:00 [MikeSmith]
... this task was handed over to the W3C PSIG
18:38:34 [MikeSmith]
... which did an analysis and proposed a license that they believed covered 9 of the 11 use cases
18:38:56 [MikeSmith]
... then later in 2010 we decided that we needed to try again
18:39:21 [MikeSmith]
... and in the end we came up with 3 candidate licenses
18:39:34 [tlr]
q+ marcos
18:39:39 [MikeSmith]
... the three licenses try to address the use cases and at the same time address the AC's concerns about "forking"

18:40:15 [MikeSmith]
... I have not doubt that the PSIG left no stone unturned
18:40:26 [MikeSmith]
... the chairs of the HTML WG created a poll
18:40:55 [MikeSmith]
... in which they asked the group to consider the 3 PSIG-proposed licenses, and also 2 other more-permissive licenses
18:41:34 [MikeSmith]
... the results of the poll were that a majority of the HTML WG members responded that they could not live with any of the 3 PSIG-proposed licenses
18:42:21 [MikeSmith]
... for the other more-permissive licenses, the majority of the HTML WG responded to say that they could live with them, though there was a significant minority that said they could not
18:42:38 [DavidKim]
DavidKim has joined #html-wg
18:42:51 [MikeSmith]
Jeff: So, where we are at now is that we do not have any plans to change the W3C document license
18:43:12 [MikeSmith]
... but in another decision, we did great Community Groups with a more permissive document license
18:43:12 [plh]

q+ anne
18:44:33 [tantek]
tantek has joined #html-wg
18:44:39 [MikeSmith]
Marcos: we have seen an alternative solution, which is that editors publish their editor's drafts under "public domain" outside of the W3C
18:44:53 [MikeSmith]
Jeff: we are on record as supporting a permissive license
18:45:28 [MikeSmith]
... but the Membership told us by an overwhelming majority (80%) is that when you are on the W3C Rec-track, they feel that needs to not be forkable
18:46:46 [MikeSmith]
Marcos: We have shared documents, and if the W3C doesn't provide a more permissive license, we are still going to be [publishing versions of the same specs outside of the W3C under a more permissive license]
18:46:59 [KevinMarks]
you can't prevent forking by fiat
18:47:27 [MikeSmith]
anne: it seems wrong to me that a secret club behind a Member-only wall say No to us and tell us what we can and cannot doe
18:47:40 [MikeSmith]
... there is not opportunity for discourse there
18:47:44 [KevinMarks]
all you can prevent is the spec representing implementations that have forked it
18:48:11 [dsinger]

18:48:34 [igarashi]
igarashi has joined #html-wg

18:49:38 [MikeSmith]
Jeff: The chartering of Activities go through the AC as well
18:50:15 [MikeSmith]
anne: The issue is that many of the members in the AC are not even members of this group
18:50:16 [hober]
ack anne
18:50:21 [hober]
ack tantek
18:50:40 [MikeSmith]
tantek: as a rep of one of those member companies, I can sympathize
18:50:50 [MikeSmith]
... I've also been an invited expert
18:50:50 [MikeSmith]
.
18:51:03 [MikeSmith]
... there is the entire AC that votes on these issues
18:51:14 [MikeSmith]
... but if you look at the participants in this group
18:51:40 [MikeSmith]
... I can firmly say that as a Member, Mozilla does support a forking license for the spec
18:52:36 [MikeSmith]
Jeff: part of my philosophy of change is to recognize where there are huge barriers to change, and to find other areas where the barriers are not huge, and work there
18:52:52 [MikeSmith]
... so one of the reasons we create the Community Groups was to address this issue
18:53:06 [dbaron]
dbaron has joined #html-wg
18:53:19 [MikeSmith]
anne: It would be nice if we were given reasons for why the AC said No
18:53:29 [MikeSmith]
... the AC is advisory
18:53:49 [hober]
ack dsinger
18:53:59 [MikeSmith]
... and if the Team feels that W3C should have a permissive license, the AC can be overruled
18:54:13 [Kai]
q+
18:54:33 [MikeSmith]
DaveSinger: I think one rationale was that they want a single specification to reference
18:54:50 [markw]
markw has joined #html-wg
18:55:22 [MikeSmith]
... I don't think we would ever have a case where even if there is a moderately hostile fork, the W3C does not pursue enforcing the W3C document license
18:55:29 [tantek]
q+ to mention Mozilla's intent to use CGs
18:55:32 [MikeSmith]
... so the horse has already left the barn
18:56:11 [LJW]
LJW has joined #html-wg
18:56:21 [MikeSmith]
Tim: one argument is, I want people to say that they are putting their time and work into the [common place at W3C] where we have gotten together to do the work
18:57:19 [MikeSmith]
... and we are all committed to working together at W3C to work on our specs here, not planning to then take them off somewhere else
18:57:20 [KevinMarks]
the possibility of forking is what provides the social pressure to actually agree.
18:57:55 [MikeSmith]
Tim: the case with forking of code is different, whereas with standards, [the argument for forking] does not hold as well
18:58:16 [MikeSmith]
Tim: I think it's important to not fork but also important to have the right to fork
18:58:27 [MikeSmith]
... so these are conflicting needs
18:58:59 [MikeSmith]
TIm: I agree with Dave Singer that the license [does not have effect on what actually happens in practice]
18:59:16 [MikeSmith]
... so I'm not sure we need to continue spending a lot more energy on this

Iraj has joined #html-wg
19:00:03 [MikeSmith]
... we should be focusing on doing our actual spec work
19:00:28 [MikeSmith]
Sam: This is perhaps something we can address with HTML.Next
19:00:48 [MikeSmith]
... so maybe we can focus on that constructively
19:01:01 [MikeSmith]
Kai: Companies have one very strong requirement, which is stability
19:01:19 [MikeSmith]
... when you cannot rely on the standards to actually be standards, that is a huge issue
19:01:30 [krisk]
krisk has joined #html-wg
19:01:35 [MikeSmith]
... W3C through its process guarantees stability
19:02:19 [MikeSmith]
... my recommendation to my own company is that we have to completely ignore anything that comes out of the WHATWG
19:02:36 [MikeSmith]
... just breaking out of the process because you don't like it is [not good]
19:02:57 [MikeSmith]
Jeff: I do not work for any of the companies that didn't support forking
19:03:30 [MikeSmith]
... but I know some of the reasons that we given
19:04:03 [mjs]
mjs has joined #html-wg
19:04:12 [MikeSmith]
Jeff: I heard some companies saying that they do not want forking because we want one Web
19:04:20 [MikeSmith]
... they said they don't want to see the Web get fractured
19:04:23 [Iraj]
Iraj has joined #html-wg
19:04:51 [MikeSmith]
... for example, if some companies said they wanted a Web that has DRM features that are not part of a W3C standard
19:04:55 [JonathanJ1]
JonathanJ1 has joined #html-wg
19:05:33 [MikeSmith]
Jeff: I also agree with what David said, that maybe we need to do more educate, to help companies understand permissive licensing
19:05:59 [MikeSmith]
... and I understand that Tim also supports doing such education
19:06:14 [MikeSmith]
tantek: we all want one Web
19:06:21 [MikeSmith]
... I think there are maybe some disagreements about how we get there
19:06:40 [MikeSmith]
... in a past role, I was at Microsoft, and there was a standard called DVB-HTML
19:06:49 [MikeSmith]
... and what happened to that standard?
19:06:53 [MikeSmith]
Jeff: It died.
19:07:27 [KevinMarks]
lets not even mention WAP
19:07:32 [MikeSmith]
tantek: right. It's doomed to fail. In the long run , the one that survives in the one that's supported by reputation
19:07:33 [markw]
CE-HTML is very much alive in OIPF, HbbTV etc.
19:07:44 [MikeSmith]
... I want to praise the W3C for the Community Groups
19:08:14 [MikeSmith]
... it is our intent to develop the Fullscreen API in a Community Group with a forking license
19:08:27 [MikeSmith]
... and it is more likely that for [new work we do] we are going to choose to pursue those in a Community Group
19:08:57 [MikeSmith]
Jeff: one small clarification, I was neither taking a position for or against forking licenses
19:08:57 [MikeSmith]
.
19:09:12 [MikeSmith]
... I was sharing what I heard
19:09:20 [MikeSmith]
... this is consensus-driven org
19:09:44 [MikeSmith]
... we saw a consensus to provide a more permissive license for Community Groups

21:13:26 [eliot]
...if we generate million tests but they don't find bugs, then effect is minimal.
21:13:38 [eliot]

21:16:18 [eliot]
Russel: So when do I get a gold star? How many tests do I have to pass?

21:20:26 [eliot]
Russel: Even if w3c doesn't want to be in the business, there's a pressing need in various ecosystem to have cert programs.
21:21:14 [eliot]
....If w3c is going to present hundreds of thousand of tests, who sets up the buckets of tests?
21:21:19 [eliot]

plh: we rely on members to submit tests. w3c doesn't have staff for this
21:26:11 [eliot]
...so far we are way far from the 200k numbers we'd need for html5
21:26:45 [eliot]
Wilhelm: Many cert programs have been deliberately harmful to the success of the web.
21:27:33 [eliot]
...one group made a test suite and froze the test cases. Years later another client came with those test cases. They didn't agree with the way the web had evolved.
21:27:52 [eliot]
....not sure how to solve it, but cert is dangerous to the web.
21:28:37 [eliot]
Mark: Might be some benefit for w3c providing test suites.
21:28:51 [eliot]
...2nd milestone in which tests are completed?
21:29:18 [eliot]
....we also just need to be practical about certification. It's going to happen and the w3c should be involved.
21:29:46 [tlr]
tlr has joined #html-wg
21:29:46 [eliot]
...ideally at the infinite level, but more practical approach that grows over time. becomes more complete.
21:29:59 [eliot]
....can do this and potentially generate income for w3c.
21:30:28 [eliot]
kk: great conversation. I think in terms of the customer.
21:30:45 [eliot]
...if you put a logo on something and FB doesn't work, do they care?
21:31:11 [eliot]
...It's going to take a lot more than HTML. It's bigger that HTML. Bigger than w3c.

21:34:33 [eliot]
plh: I told jeff i need 40 people and he said sure, give me the money.
21:34:51 [eliot]
DSinger: If you're doing HTML5, you can differentiate by saying you do more.
21:35:11 [eliot]
....if everyone else contributes tests and you don't you benefit.
21:35:35 [eliot]
....we urgently need to talk about how people who want to get certified can contribute
21:36:12 [eliot]
DBarron: CSS2.1, test suite served 2 purposes: validate spec. Let implementors converge.
21:36:32 [eliot]
...You have to stop at some point, but the test suite cont. to evolved

21:37:45 [eliot]
...one test could be more precise than 10k other tests.
21:38:01 [eliot]
...Very concerned when a test is used for more than did you pass or not?

21:57:34 [eliot]
James: to find out what tests are needed, look at what's submitted, or reach out to testing task force
21:58:17 [eliot]

James: In general encouraged.
22:04:22 [eliot]
DBaron: I would say that even more strongly.
22:05:29 [eliot]
kk:there are some situations where you can't avoid it. You can comment that at the top of the test, if you need a clean cache or something like that.

Guiseppe: aree they run in the same order?
22:05:53 [eliot]
James: No guarantees.
22:06:11 [eliot]
kk: they should pass in any order. No order is assumed.
22:06:51 [eliot]
James: maybe now is a good time to stop, pick a part of the spec and write a test.

kk: Memory leak. We're supposed to validate that the normative parts of the spec work. Not whether a feature causes a memory leak.
