Free Standards Group Liaison Report, SC 22 July = 2006
ISO/IEC 23360 Linux Standard Base Project Editor's = Report
Submitted by Nick Stoughton, Free Standards = Group

The Free Standards Group has a Category A Liaison to = SC 22, and is a JTC 1 approved
PAS submitter. The PAS submitter status expired in = December 2005, but was renewed
as of 9 May 2006 after a successful JTC 1 ballot = (see JTC 1/N8139).
The new term expires 31 May 2008.

While the reaffirmation request (JTC 1/N8025) details = a number of projects
that may ultimately expect to be processed as PAS = submissions, none of these
are currently approaching submission.

ISO/IEC 233360 LSB has been submitted to ITTF for = publication. There was a
protracted delay in this process, partly caused by = the document license terms.
The LSB had from the start been described as = developed under the GNU Free
Documentation License. The FSG had been given to = understand at repeated
meetings and discussions that this represented no = problem for ISO/IEC.
However, on final submission to ITTF the project = editor was requested to
remove references to the FDL, and to place a running = footer giving all
copyright to ISO/IEC, with ALL rights = reserved.

An initial compromise was struck, whereby the = document would be published by
ISO/IEC with their copyright notice, but the = document would remain under the
Free Documentation License. When the project editor = finally turned around a
new version with this change, the ITTF again = requested the removal of the FDL.

The document that has now been submitted (as this = report is being prepared)
effectively means that the document now carries a = dual license. The ISO/IEC
version is derived from the FSG version, and ISO/IEC = have rights on this
version. The Free Standards Group will continue to = develop and maintain the
open source version, and anyone requiring to use = text may utilize this
version. Periodically, as technical corrigenda are = applied, the restricted
license version can be generated and balloted = through the ISO process.

The Free Standards Group remains committed to the PAS = process, and will
continue to work with SC 22 to ensure that technical = developments and document
maintenance are reflected in the ISO version in a = timely manner.
