Marc,
We are talking of two different things
1. the fact that we want to enable those practising the MVCO standard
to do so without paying royalties
2. the fact that you want to make clear that this does not imply that
an implementation of the MVCO standard also becomes available royalty free.
It is the first time that #1 is explicitly
placed in a CfP.
It is also the first time that #2 is
raised but its implication has been around for as long as MPEG has been around.
As far as I know no royalties are claimed for MPEG-1 Video. Does it mean that
you can consider an MPEG-1 Video implementation freely accessible to you?
I would rather not try if I were you

Requirement of Media Value Chains Ontology
Leonardo,
It may be tbe case that some
understanding has been established but that has little to do with my comment:
1) that the reauirements wording does
not make the distinction I think is required and
2) how is it that such policy statements
are made part of the technical requirements?
In any event and according to the
examplke you give, the wording should be:
"The Ontology SHALL be made available
royalty free for use by any developer in both commercial and non commercial
applications"
Is this not the first time that an MPEG
standard makes such a policy statement in a Requirements document? If so
I do not think there can exist previously established understanding about a
first time event.
Best,
Marc

Asunto: RE: [mvco] Revised
Requirement of Media Value Chains Ontology
Marc,
We are back to discussions we had many times and many places.
I assume that the ontology will be the object of the MVCO standard,
so in this sense the MVCO is the equivalent of the MPEG-2 standard.
Today those who make MPEG-2 set top boxes pay royalties to make
their set top boxes, but then the set top boxws are theirs and they sell them a
cost.
Those who will make applications that uses the MVCO standard will
not (according to the requirements) pay royalties for the use of the MVCO
standard but they will sell the application at a cost.
I do not think we need a different wording, at least within MPEG
(ISO) because this has been the understanding in the 20 years of MPEG life.

Asunto: [mvco] Revised Requirement
of Media Value Chains Ontology
Jaime,
All,
during the DMP GA17 in
the MVCO was not clear. Thanks to the discussions and valuable input
by DMP members I was able to rephrase it - see attachment. I hope it's
clear now.
I am looking forward to reading your comments.
yours sincerely,
Martin Springer
