While the TEI website gives clear instructions on licensing terms for P5
( http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/access.xml ), it doesn't say anything
about licensing for customizations provided by the TEI-C. Are these
also published under GPL v. 2? I realize that these were probably all
developed under unclear circumstances, so I think Council will need to
declare something even if we don't have copyright agreements on file
with those who first wrote these customizations.
Whatever terms we settle on, I think it would be appropriate to add this
information in an <availability> in the ODD files of Lite, Tite, and
others along the lines of what is found at
http://www.tei-c.org/release/xml/tei/odd/Source/guidelines.xml
Incidentally, I also discovered that the ODD for Lite gives this:
<publicationStmt>
<p>Not for publication or redistribution</p>
</publicationStmt>
I'm not sure what this needs to be changed to, but I think we shouldn't
leave it as it is.
