As a follow-up on this, we just got a request to clarify the license for the CSL schema. It currently says "Permission to freely use, copy and distribute.", which doesn't discuss modification. This raised some red flags with the Debian packagers: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=775532
Bruce agreed with my suggestion to relicense the schema under the MIT license. So unless anybody objects to this or wishes to suggest a different license, we'll go with that.
