Hi,
A comment about item #1 of this week's agenda (terms of use for CellML models and associated content hosted on models.cellml.org). I don't know enough about licensing to suggest one over another. The only thing I do know, however, is that it is important to ensure that the license that is to be chosen doesn't come under the law of a particular country, state, etc. and/or doesn't conflict with the law under which someone's University comes. The reason I am saying this is that for COR, I was at the time told by OSS Watch (an Open Source organisation here in the UK; www.oss-watch.ac.uk) that the best license for COR would be MPL 1.1. However, that license is governed by Californian law and because of that the University didn't agree to COR being released under MPL 1.1 (since the University comes under English law). The University offered me another license, but it was so restrictive (for the end user mainly and me a bit) that, in the end, I had no choice but to decline the offer. Eventually, all parties involved (University, OSS and myself) agreed that the best course of action was for me to release the executable and give the source code only to those who would request it from me. In other words, the University is not responsible for anything, and this is the reason COR is not and never will be open source (not that it matters now!).
