Henri Yandell commented on LEGAL-241:
-------------------------------------

+1. I'm assuming we wouldn't be implementing/using something not in the Spe=
cification, so the 150 days seems focused on the CLA-part of the document (=
i.e. between contributor and the W3C).=20

> In TAVERNA-932 we wonder if our use of https://github.com/apache/incubato=
r-taverna-language/blob/0.15.0-incubating/taverna-robundle/src/main/resourc=
es/ontologies/oa.rdf is considered Category-A license.
> Note that the upstream file https://www.w3.org/ns/oa/oa.rdf (which must b=
e fetched with {{curl -H Accept: application/rdf+xml}}) does not include fi=
le-headers - I added those based on the [parent document|http://www.openann=
otation.org/spec/core/20130208/index.html] which says:
> {quote}
> Copyright =C2=A9 2012-2013 the Contributors to the Open Annotation Core D=
ata Model Specification, published by the Open Annotation Community Group u=
nder the W3C Community Contributor License Agreement (CLA). A human-readabl=
e summary is available.
> {quote}
> It is a bit unclear what the license for downstream readers actually is, =
as that [W3C Community Contributor License Agreement|https://www.w3.org/com=
munity/about/agreements/cla/] is mainly written for W3C Community Group con=
tributors (which incidentally includes myself).=20
> However it says contributions include:
> {quote}
> 2. Copyrights.
>     2.1. Copyright Grant. I grant to you a perpetual (for the duration of=
 the applicable copyright), worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-fr=
ee, copyright license, without any obligation for accounting to me, to repr=
oduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sub=
license, distribute, and implement any Contribution to the full extent of m=
y copyright interest in the Contribution.
>     2.2. Attribution. As a condition of the copyright grant, you must inc=
lude an attribution to the Specification in any derivative work you make ba=
sed on the Specification. That attribution must include, at minimum, the Sp=
ecification name and version number.
> {quote}
> which to me sounds like a permissive category-A BSD-like license.
> What is the view of LEGAL?
