The fact that this final word is an "or" and not an "and optionally" is rather worrying. But we do have a general principle that we contribute stuff upstream under the licence used upstream. So that part is OK. We just need to make sure that people who check in to this directory know what they are doing. Given that in practice, I expect that you will be involved in all checkins, I'm sure you can make sure that people are aware :-) > What I'd like to do is to create > > other-licenses/ > |-w3c-css/ > |-submitted/ # tests we are submitting to W3C, our copy is > master > |-received/ # tests we are receiving from W3C, their copy is > master > > What is the process for setting this up? Straw man: Just create it, and add a README to the "submitted" directory saying "Files and modifications in this directory must be submitted under the following licence grant:" and then a copy of what you quoted. But I would file a bug to get legal sign-off on this plan. Gerv _______________________________________________ legal mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/legal
