<div>Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention. I will be chairing a
session at the Barcelona TC meetings to discuss some proposed changes to the OGC
Policies and Procedures. I would like to add this issue to the agenda. Any ideas
about possible solutions would be most welcome. Quite honestly, in all my years
at the OGC, I never read this section of the OGC IPR FAQ. You are quite correct
in your assessment – Clear as mud!</div>

<div>Cheers</div>

<div dir="ltr">Agreed, the restriction comes out of trying to keep these things
unique (hence the request as a courtesy).
<div> </div>
<div>I still think this is an interesting case where OSGeo and OGC could work
out a compromise for the benefit of all. It is within the mandate of OSGeo, and
help OGC standards reach an extended audience.</div>

suspect Debian's issue is about following the DFSG, and having the<br>right to
make changes, rather than that they actually *want* to make<br>changes
now. I maintain some packages in pkgsrc (multi-OS

is in the<br>lead for identifying these sorts of issues.<br><br>Also, if you
said "permission granted under copyright law, but we ask as<br>a courtesy that
you not do X", that's probably ok with Debian (I can't<br>speak for them, but
it would not be an issue in pkgsrc).<br></blockquote></div>
