Jim, Mike, and everybody,
Who holds copyright on DAML+OIL?
http://www.daml.org/2001/03/daml+oil-index.html
A while back, I think TimBL set an expectation that it
would get formally submitted to W3C, which would involve a clear
statement from a W3C member about copyright and
any other intellectual property.
But... umm... I didn't get that to happen.
The following folks are credited on the index page:
Ian Horrocks, editor
Frank van Harmelen, editor
Peter Patel-Schneider, editor
Tim Berners-Lee
Dan Brickley
Dan Connolly
Mike Dean
Stefan Decker
Dieter Fensel
Pat Hayes
Jeff Heflin
Jim Hendler
Ora Lassila
Deb McGuinness
Lynn Andrea Stein
I may need something in writing from each of those folks
releasing copyright or granting W3C rights to create
derivative works or something, in order to use DAML+OIL
as the basis of W3C work.
But I'd rather hear that some pre-existing relationship
with DARPA means that JimH can assign all the relevant
rights in one step. Or something.
Help?
