Re: [OAUTH-WG] Dynamic Client Registration: IPR Confirmation

[Mike Jones <[e-mail]>]

So that the working group has concrete language to consider, propose the following language to the OAuth Dynamic Client Registration specification:


Portions of this specification are derived from the OpenID Connect Dynamic Registration [OpenID.Registration] specification.  This was done so that implementations of this specification and OpenID Connect Dynamic Registration can be compatible with one another.

Thinking about this some more, there is one IPR issue that we need to address before publication.  This specification is a derivative work from the OpenID Connect Dynamic Registration specification http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-registration-1_0.html.  Large portions of the text were copied wholesale from that spec to this one, so that the two would be compatible.  (This is good thing – not a bad thing.)

This is easy to address from an IPR perspective – simply acknowledge that this spec is a derivative work and provide proper attribution.  The OpenID copyright in the spec at http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-registration-1_0.html#Notices allows for this resolution.  It says:


Copyright (c) 2014 The OpenID Foundation.

The OpenID Foundation (OIDF) grants to any Contributor, developer, implementer, or other interested party a non-exclusive, royalty free, worldwide copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works from, distribute, perform and display, this Implementers Draft or Final Specification solely for the purposes of (i) developing specifications, and (ii) implementing Implementers Drafts and Final Specifications based on such documents, provided that attribution be made to the OIDF as the source of the material, but that such attribution does not indicate an endorsement by the OIDF.
Let’s add the reference and acknowledgment in the next version.

I likewise do not hold any IPR on these specs.
