Dan Connolly, 29 Nov 2007, 16:05:43

the internal discussion is underway, but it looks like it will take a while. Anybody who needs this before end of Jan will please say so.

Dan Connolly, 6 Dec 2007, 05:17:55

haven't heard anything since the 14 May update; I'm pinging people internally.

Dan Connolly, 10 Jul 2008, 14:23:35

internal discussion shows progress, but it's slow.

Dan Connolly, 17 Jul 2008, 15:30:15

internal discussion continues... it seems likely that we'll explicitly license exerpts but not modifications.

The IETF seems to be working on something similar. http://trustee.ietf.org/docs/IETF_Trust_Legal_Permission_for_IETF_Docs_8-05-08.txt

Dan Connolly, 16 Dec 2008, 22:51:13

working on this with Rigo, Ian, PLH, Mike, and others... Ian suggest one more week should yield some results.

Philippe Le Hégaret, 7 Oct 2009, 21:23:18

The W3C Advisory Board spent a substantial amount of this topic. I'll continue to push to get an opinion from the W3C Advisory Committee but I don't expect to get one before March 2010 unfortunately. The PSIG (Patent and Standard Interest Group) started to discuss the issue at the end of October and we got some strong pushback there, especially since we phrased the question to them as "How shouldwe do this?", instead of "Should we do this?". We're now pushing for the next PSIG meeting to be sooner rather than later. Until we can get an advise on using a license such as the MIT license, it's going to be difficult to formulate a clear question for the AC.

Philippe Le Hégaret, 13 Nov 2009, 15:35:00

This action was discussed on Jan 28 when Philippe was on vacation. The PSIG is preparing an FAQ for the AC membership and the W3C team intends on surveying the AC membership to get feedback on this issue before the Mar 22-23 AC meeting. I changed the next due date to the end of Feb.

Paul Cotton, 28 Jan 2010, 17:52:25

Due date changed to April 15 to permit reactions to W3C decision on not permitting forking.

Paul Cotton, 30 Mar 2010, 18:20:45

[paulc]: due May 31

29 Apr 2010, 16:08:32

Update on Jun 17: PSIG has a proposal which needs to be tested to see if it is compatible with GPL. AI extended by two weeks.

Paul Cotton, 17 Jun 2010, 16:08:59

[MikeSmith]: plan is to put forward another survey to the W3C membership
