A simple Google search should bring enlightenment: http://www.google.com/search?q=wai+aa (But basically there are three levels of compliance with the WAI recommendations. A means you have met all priority 1 checkpoints (the basic points), AA means you have met priority 1 and 2 checkpoints, and AAA means you have met priority 1, 2 and 3 checkpoints. DSpace aims to meet AA compliance. > I see in the DSpace manual (section 5.6.2) > that the controlloed vocab feature requires javascript.

If you feel it would be useful, that would be good. Even better, if you have the time and skills to tackle this development, DSpace is an open community with the software being collaboratively built by many of the members. > I have only seen a license for when one uses software that the OCLC has > written.

You'd be best of asking the OCLC about that.
