@silverpill @feps @julian great question!
The W3C Community Group contributor license agreement goes beyond copyright -- it also covers patents and other intellectual property.

It's great that FEPS are CC0 -- that makes it possible to redistribute the text freely verbatim or modified. However, it doesn't protect implementers from patents and other claims.

@silverpill @julian @feps I'm happy to look over this FEP, but we'll continue the work in the Groups TF. Would you be willing to submit it under the W3C community group CLA so we can include it in that Task Force's work?

@silverpill @greyarea ah, great. There's a GitHub repo and issues. What flaws do you think there are?
