The following statements are the patent disclosures and license commitments associated with the XSLT 2.0 and XPath 2.0 specifications as of July 10, 2002 and provided by members of the XSLT Working Group as required by W3C procedure.
W3C does not take a position regarding the validity or scope of any intellectual property right or other rights that might be claimed to pertain to the implementation or use of the technology, nor the extent to which any license under such rights might or might not be available. Copyright of the XSLT 2.0 and XPath 2.0 specifications and other WG deliverables is vested in theW3C.
This table summarizes patent statements for XSL that were made by XSL WG members in good standing. Members were asked to provide patent disclosures when they joined the Working Group. The 'license summary' column is a W3C Team characterization of the Member's statement into one of three general types of licenses: 1) Royalty-free, 2) Reasonable and non-discriminatory terms (RAND), or 3) no statement regarding IPR has been made. Members who offered a royalty free license were not required to declare patents. This summary is not offered to suggest the exact licensing terms. The precise terms of any licence, however, are governed entirely by the Member's statement. Please note that the links to the original IPR statements are only available to W3C members, but the statements themselves are available below.
