Referring to approved license lists is unambiguous. When writing a definition that depends on other definitions, it is good to limit ambiguity.

"Liberal input, conservative output" and all that. _______________________________________________ okfn-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.okfn.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/okfn-discuss
