I think those are dangerous waters I would
stay out of. I don’t even want to ask an attorney that question. I’m
also adding our OASIS Board rep on this thread as I’m sure he has an
opinion.

Yes we can setup a project w/o releasing anything - I'm
not just enough of a legal-wonk to know if we still need to be careful about
the license we choose even if we don't release anything.

I don't see how we can release anything under any
license except OASIS's.
Can you check what implication there is in using
SourceForge - i.e. can we
set up a project and not release anything
externally via SourceForge.
Jamie,
I assume SourceForge meets the OASIS
"stability" requirements as long as we
can find a way thru the licensing issues. What
timeframe is there on an
OASIS hosted service?

Paul,
Could you ask Jamie for permission to use
SourceForge? I seems like it
should be easy since other projects (like bpel)
already use it. The only
open question is the license we should use.
The complete list of licenses
is here: http://opensource.org/licenses/
- I think OASIS might need to
provide guidance as to the appropriate license we
should use.
thanks

Folks
Regarding CVS Jamie says (his full words below) we
can use any CVS as long
as its stable, accessible, and a sand-box. Oh and
OASIS has to approve it.
I think any license will be pretty important too.
So if you guys have a proposal, lets take it to
Jamie. He also hinted that
longer-term it would be sorted for us.

Short-term, the relevant rule (at
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#2.8)
allows TCs to keep
work at off-site servers if "designated"
by OASIS. Which is to say, if you
want to do something off-site that can't be done
on-site, and you ask
staff, and it's reasonably configured to satisfy
our policies and goals,
we're inclined to say yes.
-- This is new as of 15 April, so we're in early
experiments.
-- "Reasonably configured," etc.
includes, approximately, that (a) that
it's under proper controls, so we have some reason
to be confident of its
short-term stability and availability, (b) it's
accessible to all TC
members and (c) limited to sand-box work in
progress, so that items get
moved over to the regular system as they solidify.
-- Don't put anything there that can't be moved.
In other words, we
may take resources in-house as capabilities grow,
so this kind of
arrangement should not be used with the
expectation of a proposed permanent
archival locations.
Should I regard this as a request? And if so, has
the TC consented,
who's hosting, and have they committed to
maintaining appropriate
short-term access and stability? Regards JBC
