[tei-council] Fwd: [tei-board] licensing issues

[Martin Holmes]

So this is the proposal:

The TEI Guidelines, including schemas or documentation generated from 
them, associated processing tools and stylesheets, exemplars, and test 
files, should be released under a 2-clause BSD license.

(The 2-clause license is the "Simplified BSD License" or "FreeBSD License".)

I vote in favour.

Cheers,
Martin
