Currently on the top of the text. But if you mean link to the upstream file which is in the latest release[1] and/or the license text[2] (link is in the file) of OASIS Open then here you go (under the 'Notices' paragraph). The actual text snippet in question is (if I read Alvin correctly): "However, this document itself may not be modified in any way, including by removing the copyright notice or references to OASIS, [...]". But please read the whole copyright text in all. Does the 'may not be modified in any way' refers the code (header file this time) or only the copyright text itself? In short, OASIS Open is a DFSG compliant license or not?
