I was not aware of that page. Thanks for pointing it out. I am fine with that header, too. So here goes an updated header (which I will also update on the wiki once agreed): # # Copyright (c) <year>, <Person or Company> # All rights reserved, licensed under either CC-BY or BSD. # # You are free: # * to Share - to copy, distribute and transmit the work # * to Remix - to adapt the work # Under the following conditions: # * Attribution - You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author # or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use # of the work). # # Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, # are permitted provided that the following conditions are met: # * Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright notice, this # list of conditions and the following disclaimer. # * Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, this # list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or # other materials provided with the distribution. # * Neither the names of the authors nor the names of contributors may # be used to endorse or promote products derived from this ontology without # specific prior written permission. # # THIS ONTOLOGY IS PROVIDED BY THE AUTHOR ``AS IS'' AND ANY EXPRESS OR # IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES # OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE DISCLAIMED. # IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, # INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT # NOT LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF USE, # DATA, OR PROFITS; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY # THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT # (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF # THIS ONTOLOGY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. # > anyway, I am also fine bith BSD, if everyone else agrees that "in the > future, double-licensing is ok". > but then, change the wiki page. > > Folders: > the "base" folder may bite us back later. > i.e. it contains a mix of ontologies we consider "base" such as dcterms > and rdf and rdfs. > someone may ask: why is OWL not there? why is skos not there? > (etc.) > so we > * _may_ change it to subfolders "rdfs" "rdf", "dcterms", etc.... - would > be more "correct". > * leave as is and go on - I prefer that. if other people ship other > ontologies as installation packages, they can come up with other > top-folder names besides shared-desktop-ontologies The idea of the "base" folder was to put anything in there that is not maintained by us. So maybe "3rdparty" would be a better name although that looks ugly.
