Just to add, the worst scenario would be, that someone licenses a CRM
implementation we
do not agree with, but is close enough, such that a form we would like to have
would be
blocked by the license, because it may be a regarded a derivative of it.
Comment MOST welcome.

The CC web page is great. It is literally six clicks to the license.
You can license any document by linking it to the appropriate cc-license.
As far as I remember the wizard also provides you with some rdf snippet
which can be interated into html to allow for crawling the use of the
particular document (like in a citation index).
There is only one important question: Which jurisdiction to choose.
However, they have an initiative to make the core internationally
applicable (which should definitely apply for cc-by).
Just follow 'License your work' on http://creativecommons.org/
Probably it is also interesting to look into the science-commons
initiative on the same web page: http://sciencecommons.org/
By the way, I would also vote for cc-by.
Best wishes,

Hi,
All rights reserved, then?
I think this is an interesting point.
Unlike the BIBO and FRBR
ontologies which have CC-BY licenses?
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.
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
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
Yes, a "creative commons" license for the encoded forms, the OWL, KIF, RDFS or
whatever encodings of the CRM makes absolutely
sense to formalize their use.
I am not sure, if this is needed for the textual definitions. These cannot be
reused in the way the encoded forms are encouraged to.
They play the role of a community draft for ISO. As such, they are not under
ISO copyright, but under CIDOC copyright.
What is formally used for the CC license? Any expert out here to advice us?
