38 | = Resources needed by group = | ||
39 | |||
40 | The group needs a mailing list, which has already been created at [[[email protected]>>url:http://projects.opensource.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/beyond-licensing||rel="__blank"]]. | ||
41 | |||
42 | The group will use the OSI wiki for works in progress, and at a later date will publish pages on the main opensource.org website (after review by the board). | ||
43 | |||
44 | |||
45 | = Deliverable that will be created = | ||
46 | |||
47 | The group aims to draft a simple statement of principles of open source, inspired by the Open Source Definition, but addressing topics beyond copyright licenses. | ||
48 | |||
49 | The group may also review/maintain existing documents about open source beyond copyright licensing, such as the [[Open Standards Requirement for Software>>https://opensource.org/osr||rel="__blank"]] and the [[Principles of DRM Nonaggression for Open Standards>>https://opensource.org/osr-drm||rel="__blank"]]. | ||
50 | |||
51 | |||
52 | = Description of how that deliverable satisfies a part of OSI's mission = | ||
53 | |||
54 | This working group primarly supports two aspects of OSI's mission: "championing software freedom in society" and "preventing abuse of the ideals and ethos inherent to the open source movement". The group will explore/define aspects of open source beyond copyright licenses, with a goal of making a clear simple statement of principles, in much the same way that the OSD is a clear simple statement of the principles of open source copyright licenses. | ||
55 | |||
56 | |||
57 | = Target completion date = | ||
58 | |||
59 | We are planning a 12-month initial run of the working group, and will evaluate next steps for the group after 12 months. |
