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

[Lou Burnard]

"The views and conclusions contained in the software and documentation 
are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as representing 
official policies, either expressed or implied, of <copyright holder>."

as a qualifier seems nonsensical to me. The Guidelines *do* express 
views and conclusions which are TEI official policy. And who are "the 
authors" if not the <copyright holder>?
