i do not have a problem granting copyright but do have a question - i would like to be free to publish papers on daml+oil and grant copyright of the papers that i might publish as a publisher requests. I presume that would be true of everyone on the contributing list. can we make whatever we need to sign explicitly allow us to publish papers on the daml+oil work and be free to grant copyright of those papers as publishers require? thanks, Deborah Mike Dean wrote: > > Who holds copyright on DAML+OIL? > > http://www.daml.org/2001/03/daml+oil-index.html > > My guess is that there's no single legal entity (given that > the Joint Committee isn't a legal entity). > > DARPA contracts normally give "commercial rights" (i.e. use > other than by the U.S. Government) to the contractor.
