Ambiguity of additionalProperties

In brief, comments by @handrews were summarized as "properties to have annotation regardless of the validation of the schema values."

For updates and clarifications follow this discussion

Legal Query

Members discussed and clarified the query regarding licensing of meta-schemas and test suite. The issue was raised because it was felt the boundaries were fuzzy^is1160. Fortunately, OpenJS Foundation have provided legal counsel and the right questions are being asked along with progress being made on the same.

Furthermore, any changes to future licensing requires a historical trace of all contributions and it is felt that a compelling reason for such a change is yet to be found besides there is nothing in the current licenses that is prohibitive to present work.
