Notes
This version: http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2002/copyright-software-20021231
This formulation of W3C's notice and license became active on December 31 2002. This version removes the
copyright ownership notice such that this license can be used with materials other than those owned by
the W3C, reflects that ERCIM is now a host of the W3C, includes references to this specific dated
version of the license, and removes the ambiguous grant of "use". Otherwise, this version is the same
as the previous version and is written so as to preserve the Free Software Foundation's assessment of
GPL compatibility and OSI's certification under the Open Source Definition.
