IPR
Please note that this page is probably out of date —Chris Messina
NOTE: Sep 26, 2007: After careful deliberation amongst several large organizations and members of the grassroots openid community, a new IPR policy and process proposal has been crafted. Your review is requested.
Work is currently ongoing to define an intellectual property rights policy for the various OpenID.net activities. Until such a formal policy exists, the following intent has always been on the front-page of the site:
"Nobody should own this. Nobody's planning on making any money from this. The goal is to release every part of this under the most liberal licenses possible, so there's no money or licensing or registering required to play. It benefits the community as a whole if something like this exists, and we're all a part of the community."
- IPR Policy Meeting June 5 was held to discuss the Formal IPR Policy proposal.
- IPR & Process Work Plan for attempting to get a IPR Policy and supporting process in place for IIW 2007 on May 14-16, 2007.
- Spec Scope Definitions are proposed definitions of the scope of each OpenID spec as required by the Formal IPR Policy.
- Formal Process describes a proposal for a very lightweight process to enable the Formal IPR Policy.
- Formal IPR Policy is where the formal IPR policy is under discussion.
- IPR Policy is the initial proposal.
