Hi, these are W3C specifications like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WS-Policy and https://www.w3.org/TR/ws-metadata-exchange/. Nowadays they are either licensed under the W3C document license https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2015/doc-license or W3C software license https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2015/copyright-software-and-document. The latter is dfsg-free but the former does not allow modifications of W3C documents except under the following conditions: "No right to create modifications or derivatives of W3C documents is granted pursuant to this license, except as follows: To facilitate implementation of the technical specifications set forth in this document, anyone may prepare and distribute derivative works and portions of this document in software, in supporting materials accompanying software, and in documentation of software, PROVIDED that all such works include the notice below. HOWEVER, the publication of derivative works of this document for use as a technical specification is expressly prohibited. In addition, "Code Components" —Web IDL in sections clearly marked as Web IDL; and W3C-defined markup (HTML, CSS, etc.) and computer programming language code clearly marked as code examples— are licensed under the W3C Software License." I think most people will agree that it makes no sense to modify a specification because it would be extremely confusing and harmful for the internet if there was more than one HTML 5 spec for example. However I don't intend to argue about this matter because the websvc module is not used by us. I will just remove it from the tarball. Regards, Markus
