<P>This formulation of W3C's notice and license became active on December 31
|
|
47
|
2002. This version removes the copyright ownership notice such that this license
|
|
48
|
can be used with materials other than those owned by the W3C, reflects that
|
|
49
|
ERCIM is now a host of the W3C, includes references to this specific dated
|
|
50
|
version of the license, and removes the ambiguous grant of "use". Otherwise,
|
|
51
|
this version is the same as the <A
