[ome-devel] OME-XML License Change

[Andrew Patterson]

Hello,

The Open Microscopy Environment is pleased to announce an important change to the license under which we release the core OME Model Schema files. As of today, we have moved all of the schema (.XSD) files to use the **Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported** License. 

To view a copy of this license, visit:

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Details of our recommended attribution and suggested ways to use the schema are available at:

http://www.openmicroscopy.org/info/attribution
(This also includes some ways we suggest you do not use the schema!)

This change has been applied to all the schemas we have released from 2003, right up to 2011.

Thank you to everyone who provided input to the schemas over the last 8 years. We welcome your suggestions for further improvements as always. Comments can be emailed to us or left on our forums:

Thanks,

Andrew
