Quoting [Alexis Richardson] (May 27 2009):
Date: Wed, 27 May 2009 13:12:29 +0100 From: Alexis Richardson <alexis.richardson@gmail.com> To: Richard Davies <richard.davies@elastichosts.com> Cc: occi-wg@ogf.org Subject: Re: [occi-wg] moving forward
Thanks Richard.
Just to explain what the patent issue is in more detail, the concern that Sam raised is articulated in this blog post: http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/13654
I would be very interested in what the OGF policy is here.
OGF's policy is described at http://www.ogf.org/About/abt_policies.php. Please let me know if you have more specific questions - I'm happy to farward those to the responsible OGF folx.
myself (ElasticHosts) - I'm happy to commit here and now. If OCCI wants to build from the EH APIs then we will immediately license them under Create Commons or any similar license. We have no patents covering our APIs, and I'm willing to sign any royalty-free patent pledge that OCCI gives me.
Richard, example IPR notices are at http://www.ogf.org/About/abt_policies_ipr.php. Could you draft a similar statement and send it to office@ogf.org? Cheers, Andre.
Cheers,
Richard. _______________________________________________ occi-wg mailing list occi-wg@ogf.org http://www.ogf.org/mailman/listinfo/occi-wg
