The purpose of this PR is to publish "This version" and "Latest published version," both based on the latest editor's draft: https://solidproject.org/ED/protocol. All other types of change requests should go through the editor's draft instead of this PR and may potentially be incorporated into a separate version.

@csarven, thank you for working on this. I will try to get back to you quickly regarding your copyright question.

[ianbjacobs]

@csarven,

@rigow and I chatted. First a question: what does "code snippets" refer to? I looked at the spec and the only thing that looked like a code snippet was one example in section 5.3.1.

Regarding copyright here is our guidance:

• Use the CLA license for the full specification.
• ALSO, in a separate file that does not include the specification text, put any code and indicate there that the code is available under cc0. (You could direct people there from a variety of places.)

I hope that will work,

Ian

Hi. Noticed one of the acknowledged persons have their name in Telugu (I think - దామోదర) and not in English (the language of the document): Is this intentional?

[csarven]

@coolharsh55 Yes, it is intentional. Source markup is <span lang="te" xml:lang="te">దామోదర</span>. I wanted to use names in original languages as much as possible. I have pinged @damooo on Matrix a few days ago as to what they'd prefer, but didn't get a response yet. Thanks for the ping, perhaps they can chime in with their preference.

If you or others prefer their name to use a specific lang tag, please let me know or PR against the editor's draft.

@elf-pavlik :

In Solid Protocol ED, I've introduced a dl for "Version" using semver as value:

• Live: https://solidproject.org/ED/protocol#document-version
• Code: https://github.com/solid/specification/commit/bec1adab38a445588a1d54fe375570a468c0dadc

Same goes for:

• Web Access Control: https://solid.github.io/web-access-control-spec/#document-version
• Solid Notifications Protocol: https://solid.github.io/notifications/protocol#document-version
• Solid QA: https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/solid/specification/blob/19e2995089ad8defe2aea624673f526756b663c2/ED/qa.html#document-version

If that's adequate (for you), let me know, they can make their way into their respective CG-DRAFT PRs.

Thanks @ianbjacobs @rigow .

Yes, in this particular case, the code in applying an N3 patch example.

I'd like to note that while the code in this particular example is valid, can be processed and executed, it relies on particular "example" data that is essentially unlikely to occur in the wild with the potential case of data/scripts part of a Test Suite (QA). Anyone wishing to not get tangled up with licensing in their test software, i.e., if W3C Software license is not preferable and CC0 is, could change the terms in the example code.

IANAL, but even in the case where the specification may be interpreted as "software", the example code possibly being under the CC0 license doesn't offer anything besides the W3C Software license (as per the Solid CG charter: https://www.w3.org/community/solid/charter/#license ).

Thus far we had no need to separate the example code from specifications into separate files, so I do not see an incentive at the moment. If such need arises, we can do that.

My suggestion to the Solid CG:

1. Keep this PR as is without the mention of "All code snippets are in the public domain, CC0."
2. Also update the ED to remove the said text.

(And do the same for the other specifications proposed as CG-DRAFT.)

I believe this is still compatible with the Solid CG charter but 1) IANAL, 2) we already had long discussions on this topic when working on the charter, and 3) at the end of the day it needs to be acceptable by W3C if we want to publish a W3C CG-DRAFT report. But I understand that some individuals may have a different perspective or preference, so I'm all ears as to what the CG wants here.

This works, thanks! I would consider calling it "Semantic Version" since this name is already broadly recognized.
