Re: [jira] [Assigned] (LEGAL-369) Guidance on Open Grid Forum (OGF)
document inclusion
Posted by Stian Soiland-Reyes <st...@apache.org>.
(Apologies for my rubbish formatting in this message)
Here is how we handled it in Apache Taverna when we used OGF-derived XML
schemas. Note that due to unclarity of "this document" in earlier OGF
licenses (ogf 98 in our case) we did not include the OGF schema files
directly, but that should probably be fine for you -- given that you copy
them from the pdf rather than their namespaces.
https://github.com/apache/incubator-taverna-server/blob/master/LICENSE#L208
------------------------------------------
taverna-server-usagerecords contains derivative work
based on Open Grid Forum (OGF) Documents.
For their original copyright notices, see the corresponding
META-INF/LICENSE.GFD.98.txt and META-INF/LICENSE.GFD.204
---------------------------------------------------------
https://github.com/apache/incubator-taverna-server/tree/master/taverna-server-usagerecord/src/main/resources/META-INF
Then has explicit wording to ensure it is NOT the OGF Document (aka the
spec pdf) that is being redistributed, as that would be covered by the
non-open no-change restrictions. The derived work is however free to be
modified.
org.apache.taverna.server.usagerecord.xml.urf2 classes are
derivate work from Open Grid Forum (OGF) Document
https://www.ogf.org/documents/GFD.204.pdf
Copyright notice of the original OGF document:
Copyright © Open Grid Forum (2006-2013). Some Rights Reserved.
This document and translations of it may be copied and furnished to others,
and derivative works that comment on or otherwise explain it or assist in
its
implementation may be prepared, copied, published and distributed, in whole
or in part, without restriction of any kind, provided that the above
copyright notice and this paragraph are included as references to the
derived
portions on all such copies and derivative works. The published OGF document
from which such works are derived, however, may not be modified in any way,
such as by removing the copyright notice or references to the OGF or other
organizations, except as needed for the purpose of developing new or updated
OGF documents in conformance with the procedures defined in the OGF Document
Process, or as required to translate it into languages other than English.
OGF, with the approval of its board, may remove this restriction for
inclusion of OGF document content for the purpose of producing standards in
cooperation with other international standards bodies.
The limited permissions granted above are perpetual and will not be revoked
by the OGF or its successors or assignees.
In our derived source code files (from jaxb) we used the normal ASF header.
If you extract schemas etc from an OGF PDF I would include a license header
similar to the top lines here and reference the ogf license file
separately, rather than confusingly add the whole text (as then the source
code could be confused with "the OGF document").
I don't think it is enough to reference their license text remotely,
particularly as the URL seems to be a fragile wiki link that might break
later.
