Hi,

I have not followed the discussion but skimming through the document,
I felt that calling a grouping an extension is somewhat confusing
since YANG also has extensions that are a very different thing
(i.e. we get a clash between a MUD and YANG extensions). Perhaps more
careful wording can help. In the YANG definitions, I would rather
avoid using 'extension'.

OLD

     grouping ol-extension {
       description
         "OL extension grouping";

NEW

     grouping owner-licence-grouping {
       description
         "A grouping expression ownership and license information";

Whether 'ol' makes a good container name can be discussed.

Whether allowing multiple owners all sharing a single license is
appropriate I do not know; in the open source world there are
occasionally projects that can be used with different licenses
(perhaps making this just a list of (owner, spdx-tag, license-info)
instead of a leaf-list of owners with exactly one spdx-tag and
license-info would be more flexible. I am also not sure that using an
'owner' leaf to contain a copyright statement is what I would have
expected to be an 'owner' (i.e., a person or legal entity).
