Don't ask me. As i suggested, contact legal-discuss@ (any committer can post). http://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html#foundation-legal We don't want to spread any FUD here on forrest-dev so best go there with direct questions. The proponents of this ODT plugin would need to determine how we might be affected, do we need to redistribute any of their resources, are we "implementing" the standard, etc. http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/office/ipr.php does say "This TC operates under the RF on Limited Terms Mode of the OASIS IPR Policy". See definitions in: http://www.oasis-open.org/who/intellectualproperty.php section 4.3 Search legal-discuss first, for example i just did a quick search and found these: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/200509.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] I know that they are talking about "RF on RAND Terms" but section 10.2.1 also affects "RF on Limited Terms". http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/200502.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] The whole thread is useful. I note that Cliff's draft policy doesn't even mention OASIS. http://people.apache.org/~cliffs/3party.html http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/200603.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -David
