Peter, We used the following licensees: Virtuoso: GNU General Public License. Stardog: Stardog Community License. NitrosBase: NitrosBase Non-Commercial End-User License. The licenses for the products we used are attached here. Regards, Victor mailto:vchernov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ===================== 26.04.2014, 18:45:57: ===================== Thank you very much for highlighting this potential issue, Mike. Yes, our prevailing Open IPR Policy and practice do apply to contributions during the Ontology Summit process - see: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiHomePage#nid32 We do, on occasions and prior to the event, grant waivers, in the interest of providing a broad exposure of the state-of-the-art to the community by inviting the participation and presentation of proprietary material. To help clarify whether we are still in conformance to this Open IPR practice, maybe VictorChernov can help us by listing the IPR owners and Applicable Use License of the various products involved in your hackathon project. (In case some of them turn out to be proprietary, at least we should retroactively apply and clearly indicate the appropriate "waiver.") Thanks & regards. =ppy -- On Fri, Apr 25, 2014 at 8:24 AM, Mike Bergman <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Since my first exposure to the Ontolog Forum, Peter in particular has > been an active steward to keep discussions clear of any proprietary or > product-oriented discussions. > > The "hackathons" appear to me to be an backdoor way to promote and > discuss certain tools and products in a less than transparent way, and > in violation (as I understand it) of the forum's neutrality on such > matters.
