| [epf-dev] Legal Copyright of OPF |
Richardo,
The site seems
quiet. There was some musing on their site about porting to EPF and I am
still waiting on a message I placed there to show my interet in the
porting.
Their copyright reads:
The content of this website and its constituent webpages is copyrighted by the OPEN Process Framework Repository Organization (OPFRO). Subject to its terms of use, the OPFRO hereby grants you a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright) license to the following rights:

Usage.

(Modification and extension of the original website are only authorized and permitted via the official website update process. You are welcome and requested to submit recommended modifications and extensions via this process.)

Incorporation.

Now I don't expect to see a port to epf without them in
the loop but a gentl pull from the EPF community would be meaningful.
Cheers,
Ray

Ray,
The content at http://www.opfro.org/ is under copyright. You
want to check the legal aspects of capturing their content in EPF Composer and
using it in your organization.
If you meant to capture this and contribute to
EPF project to make it available to a larger audience, there are also legal
aspects involved that need to be sorted out due to copyright issues (e.g. the
OPF organization needs to declare interest in contributing all - or part of
- their content to EPF).
Is this a discussion you'd be interested
in following up with that organization?
