Council is looking at regularising/standardising the licences it uses for various bits of output of the TEI-C. Eventually it recommended to the Board that it dual license everything with BSD 2-Clause and Creative Commons Attribution. Users can choose which license is most appropriate in their situation/use of materials, and use that. In both cases it is Attribution of materials used that is asked.
