Hi Bertrand, OpenDDR combining forces with DeviceMap is great news! And having the resource file will make it very useful immediately.
Regarding this vote.. While the original wurfl.xml was clearly open source, and I am going to cast a positive vote to accept it in DeviceMap, I am fairly certain that once we do that and start releasing it, we'll hear from Scientiamobile trolls. So is Incubator PMC an appropriate body to decide on this risk? Should the Board get involved? (You are a Board member yourself of course :)) Andrus On Sep 28, 2012, at 6:21 PM, Bertrand Delacretaz <bdelacre...@apache.org> wrote: > Hi, > > IP clearance usually works by lazy consensus, but in this case I'd > like an explicit vote, as the donation described at [0] includes data > that when hosted on Github has caused a DMCA takedown request [1] to > which OpenDDR responded [2]. > > I guess from our point of view the decision is whether the donation of > that data can be considered voluntary, as the ownership of the > original data is somewhat unclear.
