OK, but the question becomes, does the licensee get to license out the stuff with no strings attached or does he gain the right to sub-license stuff but only with the PI strings still attached?
I think the license answers this one: there is no requirement to reproduce the PI declaration, as there is the copyright notice. If PI was supposed to inherit, then you'd be required to add to, rather than replace, the PI declaration, i'd think.
Maybe that's reading too much into too little. But that sounds like what it says.
If so, this would be a real bear to use with 100% accuracy. Only bigger companies who own copies of all the publications in question could safely use OGC from anything other than a primary source.
I don't feel that this is necessarily the intent of what the license had in mind, but it may be a reasonable interpretation. I'm certain others will comment on whether it is or isn't.
[snarky] Well, that may be what the license says, and yet not its intent. In their zeal to avoid legalese, they also managed to avoid precision and/or accuracy at several points, so maybe this is just another one. [/snarky]
