The copyright mode for this Task Force is: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. Each Task Force Participant agrees that its Contributions are subject to the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC BY).

Approved Deliverable Patent Licensing (other than source code)

The patent mode for this Task Force is: W3C Mode

  1. Licensing Commitment. For materials other than source code developed by the Task Force, each Task Force Participant agrees to make available any of its Essential Claims, as defined in the W3C Patent Policy, under the W3C RF licensing requirements Section 5, in Approved Deliverables adopted by that Task Force as if that Approved Deliverable was a W3C Recommendation. Source code developed by the Task Force is subject to the license set forth in this Task Force charter 
  2. For Exclusion. Prior to the adoption of a Draft Deliverable as an Approved Deliverable, a Task Force Participant may exclude Essential Claims from its licensing commitments under this agreement by providing written notice of that intent to the Task Force chair (“Exclusion Notice”). The Exclusion Notice for issued patents and published applications must include the patent number(s) or title and application number(s), as the case may be, for each of the issued patent(s) or pending patent application(s) that the Task Force Participant wishes to exclude from the licensing commitment set forth in Section 1 of this patent policy. If an issued patent or pending patent application that may contain Essential Claims is not set forth in the Exclusion Notice, those Essential Claims shall continue to be subject to the licensing commitments under this agreement. The Exclusion Notice for unpublished patent applications must provide either: (i) the text of the filed application; or (ii) identification of the specific part(s) of the Draft Deliverable whose implementation makes the excluded claim an Essential Claim. If (ii) is chosen, the effect of the exclusion will be limited to the identified part(s) of the Draft Deliverable. The Executive Director will publish Exclusion Notices.

Source Code

Participants contributing source code to this Task Force agree that those source code contributions are subject to the Developer Certificate of Origin version 1.1, and the license indicated below.

Background/Context

The Ed 3.0 Research Network (60-min 1/17/20 launch) is a global movement to support lifelong, personalized, competency-based learning at the scale of the Internet.  Four initial nodes include:

...

  1. Alex Jackl, Bardic Systems, CA Community Colleges, A4L SDPC
  2. Chris Purifoy, Learning Economy Foundation
  3. Dummond ReedDrummond Reed, Evernym
  4. Greg Nadeau, PathCheck Foundation (PCG/EY/MIT), IEEE, IMS Global
  5. Matt Gee, BrightHive
  6. Nick Ris, Evernym
  7. Phil Long, ASU TLN, US Chamber T3
  8. Simone Ravaioli, Digitary, IEEE
  9. Takis Diakoumis, Digitary/Australia
  10. Taylor Kendal, Learning Economy Foundation, C-Lab

Key deliverables will include, but are not limited to:

  • A draft IoE Ecosystem Governance Framework (EGF) that is open, inclusive, and representative of the needs of the IoE community as a whole. (IMPORTANT: The ToIP Foundation does not produce or approve operational governance frameworks. The role of ToIP Foundation in general and the Ecosystem Foundry WG in particular is to assist existing or prospective governance authorities (governments, consortia, NGOs, companies, cities, etc.) in the job of drafting or revising governance frameworks that meet their requirements for trusted interactions.)
  • A design for an extensible IoE Authoritative Issuer Registry (AIR) of VCs (verifiable credentials) as specified by the draft IoE EGF.
  • An IoE ecosystem development plan for implementing the IoE EGF and IoE AIR via instantiation (or selection) the governance authority and securing the necessary funding.

Intellectual Property Rights (Copyright, Patent, Source Code)

As a Task Force (TF) of the Ecosystem Foundry WG (EFWG), this TF inherits the IPR terms from the EFWG JDF Charter. These include:

  • Copyright mode: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. For the deliverables of an EFWG TF, this is probably the only relevant licensing needed.
  • Patent mode: W3C Mode (based on the W3C Patent Policy). In general, a TF should not be producing deliverables subject to patent rights.
  • Source code: Apache 2.0, available at http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html. Typically a TF will not be producing source code, but it can if needed.
  • An open, inclusive ecosystem governance framework
  • An extensible meta-registry of trusted VC issuers
