Re: [open-measured-data-wg] copyright notice
Hello all -

my understanding is that the work is conducted based on contracts between one of the OEMs and the service companies (i.e., Canoo). So I would expect that these contracts have a clause about the ownership rights (which includes the copyright?) of the work?

That clause should actually clarify ownership.

Regards / Liebe Grüße,

Hi Gerwin

For the IP clearing of the initial contribution, we have to change the headers on the source files containing the copyright information. Currently it is like this: 

/*
 * Copyright (c) 2015 OpenMDM(r) Working Group
 * All rights reserved. This program and the accompanying materials
 * are made available under the terms of the Eclipse Public License v1.0
 * which accompanies this distribution, and is available at
 */

Seeing this, Wayne Beaton of eclipse wrote: 

Note that the " OpenMDM(r) Working Group" is not a legal entity and cannot hold the copyright. Copyright belongs either to the author or their employer. Further, we require that the copyright headers include the identity of the actual author. Please make these changes before you submit the initial contribution.

The question is, who owns the copyright of this? It cannot be a vendor - from our perspective it still would be best if it is the working group. We have to clarify if this is possible despites Wayne’s comment. 

So can you please clarify who should own the copyright asap? The template and some explanations can be found here:  https://www.eclipse.org/legal/copyrightandlicensenotice.php

In the meantime we will take care on how to deal with the contributor section, which is also requested (even if a duplicate of information available in the repository). 


Viele Grüsse / Best regards
