OpenAndTransparentW3C/Document License

This article is a stub; please fill it out with more details.

Currently, W3C publishes its specifications under a traditional restrictive copyright license. Some want to allow a more permissive license. Here are some of the options:

1. Allow (or mandate) a CC-BY license, which allows reuse with attribution of W3C and the specification editors and authors
2. Allow (or mandate) a CC-0 license, which requires no acknowledgment of W3C or the specification editors and authors
3. Continue to require the current W3C Document License, which does not allow reuse without explicit permission
