CatalogSpecDraft: limits to distribution #40

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The section "status of this draft" says that distribution is unlimited, yet 
under license, a CC license is given.  CC licenses impose certain limits on 
distribution.  Therefore, these two statements contract each other.

How does a cc license restrain distribution ? 
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ specifically says : 
You are free "to Share — to copy, distribute and transmit the work"

Or did you mean that since you are effectively barred from changing the licence 
on the work you are in some way limited ? 
""Share Alike — If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may 
distribute the resulting work only under the same or similar license to this 
one.""

Yes, you are free "to Share - to copy, distribute and transmit the work", but 
two conditions are given (attribution and share-alike).  These are important 
limits on distribution.  The specification is still protected by copyright and 
is not in the public domain.

Thanks. " Distribution of this memo is unlimited." has been removed.
