| <P>This formulation of W3C's notice and license became active on December 31 |
| 2002. This version removes the copyright ownership notice such that this license |
| can be used with materials other than those owned by the W3C, reflects that |
| ERCIM is now a host of the W3C, includes references to this specific dated |
| version of the license, and removes the ambiguous grant of "use". Otherwise, |
| this version is the same as the <A |
| href="http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/copyright-software-19980720">previous |
| version</A> and is written so as to preserve the <A |
