Would the mandatory placement of all examples, formats, brainstorming, proposals, and drafts under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 License go towards solving that problem? * It would allow for the commercial and non-commercial use of the format. * It would ensure that people could contribute without worrying about copyright assertions from other authors. That coupled with a patent statement on the Microformat stating that full disclosure has been performed by all authors and contributors to a Microformat. Authors are not allowed to contribute to Microformats if their organization holds any sort of patent covering their proposals. The Microformats community could even put up a terms of use asserting that anybody that is going to author a Microformat must agree to the previous two requirements before contributing. -- manu _______________________________________________ microformats-new mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-new
