Legal Team/Minutes/2012-11-13

Attendees

• Jilayne Lovejoy, OpenLogic
• Tom Incorvia, Micro Focus
• Paul Madick, HP
• Tom Vidal

couple quick updates

• distributed draft of guildelines for types of licenses to be included (or not included on License List). Tom Vidal drafted first round with Tom Incorvia and Jilayne reviewing.
• responded to Roger Meier re: Flora license request
• have not responded to Roger's suggestion re: moving License List to Git (Jilayne to address this)

Discussion re: draft license guidelines

• focusing on list of characteristics: Vidal explained how he came up with factors - not a set of six, but more like a list of possibilities, how does a license rank on these factors (may not necessarily be mandatory)
  • "provides access to source code" is probably right, but example, re: requiring distribution of source code is not always the case. maybe change language in lead-in to explain this, maybe even use IRS analogy
  • maybe change to description of broad grant of rights; source code accessible.
  • discussion on how to capture "direct license" concept as factor
  • (see edits in document - included below with track changes from today's call.)
  • Tom V. to take edits and provide another revision for next call

Final remark

we need more people attending these calls...
