McGuinness hereby grant to the W3C, a perpetual, nonexclusive, royalty-free, world-wide right and license under any of my copyrights in this contribution to copy, publish and distribute the contribution, as well as a right and license of the same scope to any derivative works prepared by the W3C and based on, or incorporating all or part of the contribution. I further agree that any derivative works of this contribution prepared by the W3C shall be solely owned by the W3C. on the ipr, i can sign for myself but i can not sign for stanford. if you can work with only mine, then here it is: I, Deborah L. McGuinness, offer a license to the DAML+OIL submission under the suggested W3C Royalty-Free Patent License Declaration of 6 September 2001, available at http://www.w3.org/2001/09/rf-license.html. If you need a statement from stanford, then that has to be passed on to someone who can sign for stanford (or who can authorize me to sign for stanford). I have taken a copy of peter's statement, modified appropriately for stanford, and passed that on to ask if either i can sign it or if someone who can sign for stanford can sign that. > Finally, if any other authors belong to a W3C member, I think that this > should go on the first line of the cover page (cover.html).

I was actually hesitant earlier to include stanford since given the issues with ipr, i was wondering if stanford was going to ask me to join for the knowledge systems lab at stanford instead of joining for stanford. (in that realm, i actually do understand the implications of IPR issues; for all of stanford, i have no hope. (as a data point, hendler got his laboratory at maryland to join instead of joining for all of umd.) Thus, I was assuming that putting stanford's name down (when someone might want me to change it to ksl) might be problematic. Also, if stanford is not down, does that mean that we can submit with my individual ipr statement but if stanford is down, does that mean that we need a statement from stanford? since it looks like we are going in with individual statements from two people at other universities rather than their entire university, maybe we can just use my individual statement. If i get the approval to submit the statement about ipr from stanford quickly, then i agree it is no more work and it seems to make sense to put stanford down as a member organization submitting as well. I am the ac rep for stanford so it can come jointly from me as well as the other appropriate ac reps. d -- Deborah L.
