Re: [Scheme-reports] [r6rs-discuss] Is R6RS in the public domain?

[Hikari Boulders <hikari.boulders@x>]

My two cents:

The spirit of the spec is of course to have some freedom. However, the 
question of "commercial distributon" of the specs seems somehow 
unanswered to me.

E.g. the Free Software Foundation et al. repeatedly specify that 
'freedom to charge money' is a freedom which must be respected. The 
horror scenario would be that some organization will not recognize the 
spec as "free" if we don't specify this further. (Mind you that OpenBSD 
forked the Apache webserver because of ambiguity in the version 2 of 
Apache License.)

IMHO having some specific licence to point to in the future could really 
help speed up discussions ;)
Also I don't think that Musical Notation was trolling.

IANAL, TINLA etc.

If you are not paranoid these days, then you are insane.
