Hi! Various standardization bodies like e.g. W3C and OASIS that publish data communication standards, provide xsd and/or wsdl files describing these standards. These files, though machine readable and parsable by various interpreters, are often published with a documentation license rather than a software license since they are considered part of the standardization document rather than software that helps users implement the standard. Standardization bodies tend to want to not have random people making random changes to their standardization documents that would create incompatible versions of the standards. The documentation licenses used by these organization therefore usually do not allow modification. Are such xsd and wsdl files allowed in Debian source packages, or do they have to be deleted from the source tarball? Are they allowed to be installed by Debian binary packages? (I guess the answer to both questions would be the same.) Examples: W3C: http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/databinding/examples/6/09/Include/Include.xsd OASIS: http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-dd/discovery/1.1/os/wsdd-discovery-1.1-schema-os.xsd BEA Systems et al.: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/02/trust/WS-Trust.xsd Debian BTS reference: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=728414 Mattias Ellert
