I think this is an interesting point.

In my opinion CC-BY would be a good choice for licencing the definition 
document. "Creative Commons" was initiated by Lawrence Lessig, and is commonly 
used in several domains. With this licence everybody is allowed to copy, 
distribute and to "remix" the work, but there has to be always a reference to 
the original creators and the licence agreement.

There are several other, more restricted versions of the Creative Commons 
Licence which would be worth a look. Maybe to restrict the use of the text for 
commercial purposes would be a point, which could be achieved using the 
cc-by-nc-licence.
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/

I guess therefore a clarification with ISO would be needed about possible 
conflicts with the selling of the text as an iso-document.

Well, maybe this is worth a discussion - without hurry.

Best,
Georg Hohmann
