Years ago we thought it would therefore be wise to double-license ontologies as CC-BY and BSD. this is also the license that was since many months here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/oscaf/wiki/License">https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/oscaf/wiki/License</a> why didn't you copy it from there? - any reasons to ignore the wiki page or weren't you aware of it? anyway, I am also fine bith BSD, if everyone else agrees that "in the future, double-licensing is ok". but then, change the wiki page. Folders: the "base" folder may bite us back later. i.e. it contains a mix of ontologies we consider "base" such as dcterms and rdf and rdfs. someone may ask: why is OWL not there? why is skos not there? (etc.) so we * _may_ change it to subfolders "rdfs" "rdf", "dcterms", etc.... - would be more "correct". * leave as is and go on - I prefer that. if other people ship other ontologies as installation packages, they can come up with other top-folder names besides shared-desktop-ontologies name: for the sake of saying it: I of course hold the flag up and say "we should call them shared-oscaf-ontologies" but I am of course as happy with the current name. best Leo It was Sebastian Trueg who said at the right time 23.11.2009 11:10 the following words: <blockquote cite="mid:4B0A5F8F.1050106@kde.org" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Hi guys, please find attached a tarball with a simple cmake-based build system which installs all ontologies into <PREFIX>/share/ontology using a few subfolders for a cleaner layout. As KDE 4.4 is frozen on Wednesday I need at least a preview release to make kde depend on. Thus, the installation dir should be fixed already. Everything else we can change at one point or the other. So please have a look and comment on: - the installation target dir and the subfolders - the name of the package I will ignore comments about: - the build system (as I said: we can change that and by "we" I mean whoever complains) - the missing documentation (can be added later) We also need to decide on the license. I proposed something modeled on BSD on irc: # # Copyright <year> <name of author> <e-mail> # # Redistribution and use in any serialization form, with or without # modification, are permitted provided that the following condition # is met: # # Redistributions of the ontology in any form must retain the above # copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer. # # THIS ONTOLOGY IS PROVIDED BY THE AUTHOR ``AS IS'' AND ANY EXPRESS OR # IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES # OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE DISCLAIMED. # IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, # INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT # NOT LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF USE, # DATA, OR PROFITS; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY # THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT # (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF # THIS ONTOLOGY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. # If you have other ideas please say so and post the header to be included in the files. I will not write it for you! This also means that comments like "I vote for a XXX-compatible license" or "let's use license A" will be ignored if they are not accompanied by a piece of text like the above that I can directly copy into the files. Thanks for participating.
