I thought there was no risk here. The licensing terms were clearly stated as open and last I checked, data cannot be licensed.
What would be the basis of any data ownership claim? If this is a device map concern, why is it showing up in the openddr commit? --- Sent from Blackberry Bold 9900 -----Original Message----- From: Werner Keil <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2013 12:15:41 To: <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] Subject: Re: DDR Resources Hi, Given some or a lot was removed due to the risk of license or "data ownership" claim issues from previous contributions (even if those were contributed by people from the community who are even more unhappy about how the WURFL fraction treats their contributions now) most of these are unavoidable. If you and other proper members of Apache community contribute those BACK to DeviceMap I don't think anybody or anything can keep you from doing so, but they can't just be copied over from some other files.
