Peter, I just spoke with Jerry Smith in a DoD meeting we were both in and
told him that I am informed that because this was a government-sponsored and
-hosted event your content claims do not have merit and interfere with my
work, so I would ask for an apology. Best regards, Brand

Brand,
Leo Obrst, our Ontology Summit general chair has already notified you, on
15-Apr-2012, ref.
http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontology-summit/2012-04/msg00081.html
that,
//
Until you have made proper attribution to our work, and clearly state on
your website that your work is also openly shared under OPL v1.0 or (cc
by-sa 3.0), please remove our Summit content from your website.
//
[ while the summit content on the OntologWiki is licensed under OPL
v1.0 or (cc by-sa 3.0), work from the OntologySummit2012 website is
specifically license under (cc by-sa 3.0) ]
To date, you have not been responsive to that request yet, nor have you
taken down the content from your MindTouch : Semanticommunity.info
: AOL Government site.
I can still see our OntologySummit2012 website content, copied word-for-word
on your site, but have yet to see proper attribution, and the site license
from MindTouch, and/or Semanticommunity.info and/or AOL Government stating
that they operates under the (cc by-sa
3.0) open content license.
I personally think that this is very unprofessional of you to use our
material and disregard our IPR. You went ahead and copied the
ontology-summit team's work-in-progress without their consent; and worse,
despite the author's specific request to you to hold off until we publish,
you went ahead and published that on your site even before our team has
released that work and publish it themselves. This is not the kind of
behavior we expect from "trusted members" of the community at all.
PLEASE STOP YOUR INFRINGEMENT.
Thanks & regards. =ppy
