Andrew, Michael, I've countersigned this agreement and put the invoices into process for payment. I remind you that the agreement between the OMF Board and the OASIS Board is that an officer of OASIS/OODF must execute all contracts and commitments to payment. As guarantor for these operations that is a process requirement. We will always take your lead on technical matters - what work is necessary, if the delivered work is complete as you expect, etc. But the financial commitments and executions related to the work belong on our side of the table. We'll get those overdue payments out asap, now we have all the paperwork, Scott...

I read Jamie's comments and edits as his input -but I do not see any record of them accepting the changes - or a subsequently executed contract. The message below is the most recent communication I find related to this proposed contract. There are now a number of outstanding invoices for work done by Compiler. Before I respond to them directly based on what I know so far(with an answer they may find less pleasing than a check;-)) let me ask you - do you point me to the missing paperwork authorizing this work?

I have inserted suggestions into the Google Doc draft agreement. (A fixed copy as annotated also is attached.) THOSE edit suggestions presumably are visible to your contractor, but THESE email comments are not. I remember Kegan. So: if Contractor gives you code and code documentation, and you use it, of course it's freely usable as part of MDS , due to your overall licensing. (See Section 10 on page 5.) And that may be all their contract drafter is worried about. But if Kegan also shipped other non-code work, like analysis or critique, the CC-BY-4 terms do not necessarily apply . You might want control over such m aterial , to be exclusively provided by Compiler for OMF ' s use (as the original contract form said) . See my edits to his new "License" clause in Exhibit A on p age 10. However, if you don't care about control, and are happy to have him contribute all of his work to you in the open, you could accept the rest of it under CC-BY-4 terms as well ... and delete the [bracketed] clauses ... as long as you are willing to have your materials permanently carry his attribution (the "BY" condition). regards, Jamie mobile 1-310-293-6739 James Bryce Clark General Counsel & CPO OASIS Open [email protected] Xing LinkedIn Twitter Mastodon Setting the standard for open collaboration . ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Michael Schnuerle < michael@ openmobilityfoundation .org > Subject: Fwd: [Compiler Partners] Re: MDS 2.0 schema work proposal To: omf-staff < omf-staff@ openmobilityfoundation .org >, Scott McGrath < [email protected] > Cc: Cathie Mayo < [email protected] > Hi Scott, Back in September 2021 we had a company called Compiler do some MDS work for us. We are asking them to do some more work and have a scope of work and agreement draft. They did bring up some valid questions about the licensing and ownership language in the agreement. Here are their suggested edits from their lawyer since the OMF will not own their work and the work is open source. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O1aSaTBhS7BOXKHqW5zCAv9D_XkbNFq-3Q7IBHAmNeo/edit Let me know what you think and if this is acceptable, or feel free to leave comments and suggested edits of your own directly in the document.
