All, As a reminder, we agreed to not have a call this Friday. I made a few --- but quite significant --- edits to the document, which I have pasted below. I was hoping that we could make some progress on these topics via email in the interim. I would like to mention that the purpose of requiring a Participation Agreement from all parties is to ensure that the specification process is not gamed by bad actors. It is important that there be a perfectly level playing field for all participants. This point may be obvious to some, but not all of you. Thanks.
There may be multiple Specification Implementations. Compatible Implementations may make use of Specification Implementations. TCKs must be made available under an open source license. For each Specification Version there will be a single corresponding TCK version which must be used to test each Compatible Implementation Specification Documents will be made available under an Eclipse Foundation Specification License (EFSL) that will clearly license all necessary copyright rights to enable independent implementations. The Brand will be licensed by the Eclipse Foundation for Compatible Implementations of Profiles using an Eclipse Foundation Trademark License Agreement (EFTLA). This EFTLA will contain some TBD commercial terms to ensure the sustainability of working groups which have adopted the specification process. The EFTLA will also be the mechanism by which Compatible Implementations are licensed all patent rights granted by the Participants.
