Issue 1
We have recently been asked permission to republish the TAO with a creative
commons license, but according to counsel, the current trust agreement does
not give the trustees the rights to do this.
- Without specific language being added to the trust agreement, we cannot
grant these types of requests.
- The current open request for a creative commons license from 6/18/2013
cannot be completed.
In term of "outgoing" rights the Independent Submission Stream is different
from the IETF Stream. The draft version of the Tao might offer a path
forward. Would it be possible to have it submitted through the Independent
Submission Stream and use that version and changes to address the above
request?
I haven't looked into the process stuff. It might be possible [1] to sort
that out once the legal hurdles are settled.
SM,
I wanted to follow-up with this specific request and advise that based on
discussions with legal council and feedback from the Trustees that the current
rules don't allow granting permission to republish this using the Independent
Submission Stream, nor to grant a Community Commons license. At this time we
also do not have community consensus to prioritize a change to the rules in
order to meet this request.
Thank you
Chris Griffiths
