I wanted to set up a directory in mozilla-central where we can host tests that are sync'ed with W3C, specifically for the CSSWG test suites, which are dual-licensed under the W3C Document License and the BSD 3-clause. The dual-license that applies to the W3C tests: http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2008/04-testsuite-copyright The license grant W3C requests of test contributors is attached. What I'd like to do is to create other-licenses/ |-w3c-css/ |-submitted/ # tests we are submitting to W3C, our copy is master |-received/ # tests we are receiving from W3C, their copy is master with a LICENSE file stating the 3-clause BSD under which these files are licensed and explaining licensing terms for contributions to these directories on mozilla-central. This bug is to get legal sign-off on the plan.

Reading Rigo's doc, I think the right thing is for us to outbound-license as pure BSD, as he says that's OK with him. This all seems fine to me, but we need an official legal sign-off. Gerv

Luis - Can you please take a look at this and let us know if you agree with Gerv or have other thoughts?

Since Luis hasn't responded I'm reassigning to Jishnu.

Can I get an ETA on this, so I know whether to set up an interim solution that doesn't require legal signoff?

Hi - I agree with Gerv, the contribution license should be pure BSD and am fine with the inbound license. Could you rewrite the README file to reflect this and re-up for a quick look?

Alright jmenon, let me know if anything needs further changing.

Jishnu - looks like this is back in your court.

Can I get an ETA on this, so I know whether to set up an interim solution that doesn't require legal signoff? Thanks~

Ok, I'm going to assume that legal has no problem with this since they haven't responded. Shifting into Core for implementation.

Comment on attachment 564732 [details] LICENSE file Going through unassigned reviews. dbaron, can you review or reassign as appropriate?

This patch creates the submitted and received directories in layout/reftests and adds README files to explain each.

Comment on attachment 615542 [details] [diff] [review] patch 3 thoughts so far: * the LICENSE file might not be clear enough for the "submitted" directory, since for test submissions people need to agree to W3C's license too * you need to add your new layout/reftests/w3c-css/submitted/reftest.list to layout/reftests/reftest.list with an include line. * your commented out "import" lines should be "include" lines instead

I don't think there's any reason to mention ownership rules; you should just say that you shouldn't make any changes here that don't come from the master repository, because if you do they'll be overwritten by the next sync. r=dbaron with that and the issues in the previous comment fixed

Patch with review comments addressed.

What are the next steps here?

I think the next steps here are to start syncing things occasionally and make the process more automated as time progresses. I did a first sync from submitted/ into the W3C repository yesterday; a first pass at syncing into received/ probably requires a script for just the first pass.
