Subject: [controlled-trade] Intellectual Property
As you probably noticed we had a bit of controversy last week over IP related to OASIS TC work. In that context I'm sure that you'll agree that we need better identification of the IP related to the technical work that our TCs are pursuing. The OASIS IPR Policy states that at the time contributions are made to OASIS the contributor must disclose any IP encumbrances (patents, trademarks, etc.) associated with that contribution, and promise (at least) RAND licensing for any encumbrances. Furthermore, at the time the specification is completed and advanced to OASIS members these encumbrances must be identified to members so that they can make a decision, having full knowledge, regarding approval of the spec. In order to achieve full disclosure so that TC members and other OASIS members may work with full knowledge, it is very important that all IP encumbrances associated with the technical work of your TC be identified. If you have contributions that may pose a problem, please contact me at your earliest opportunity so that we can post any encumbrances. If anyone sends me IP encumbrances, I'll post them on our web site for everyone to see. The following are contributions of which I am aware; I suspect that there are more. BTP TC: contributions from BEA, Choreology, HP CIQ TC: contributions from MasterSoft, AND DSML TC: contributions of DSML v1 from Access360, iPlanet, Microsoft, Novell, Verisign Election TC: contributions from election.com? HumanMarkup TC: contributions from humanmarkup.org? XLIFF TC: contributions of XLIFF v1 from Novell, Oracle, etc. Provisioning TC: contributions of ITML, XRPM, ADpr Rights TC: contributions of XRML from ContentGuard RELAX NG TC: contributions of TREX, RELAX SAML TC: contributions of AuthML, S2ML UBL TC: contributions of xCBL from CommerceOne WSIA, WSRP TC: contributions of WSXL, WSUI from IBM XSLT Conf TC: contributions of test suites -T-
