Subject: Consensus(2)? IPR rights and all that
After a brief trip to the lawyer, and considering current
discussion... a new suggestion:
Replace principle 6 with the following:
6. The IETF, through the IASA, shall have a perpetual
right to use, display, distribute, reproduce, modify and
create derivatives of all data created in support of IETF
activities.
So does the above include the copy-right on RFCs?
Or is it covered elsewhere?
Anyway, I have put above text in my working copy of the doc.
(Jorge liked "perpetual" better than "irrevocable permanent"
- the stuff after "to" is a well known legal incantation).
And in section 3.1 "IAD Responsibilities", add after
paragraph 4 ("The IAD
negotiates service contracts"):
The IAD is responsible for ensuring that all contracts give the IASA
and the IETF the rights in data that is needed to satisfy the principle
of data access.
This is needed to make sure the IETF
has access to the data it needs at all times, and that the IASA can
change contractors when needed without disrupting IETF work.
Whenever reasonable, if software is developed under an IASA contract
it should should remain usable by the IETF beyond the terms of the
contract. Some ways of achieving this are by IASA ownership or an
open source license; an open source license is preferrable.
The IAD will decide how the interest of the IETF is best served
when making such contracts.
Done
(This is giving the IAD a little more room to maneuver, while still
stating a clear preference.)
Works?
Works for me
