[OpenID] OpenID license

[Nathan]

Hi David,

Thanks for the link, I actually checked that before I sent the mail 
yesterday, and I'm familiar with the patent non assert agreement.

However, really, where's the license? I've tried looking everywhere and 
the best I can find is this thread from 2 years ago: 
http://groups.google.com/group/dataportability-public/browse_thread/thread/86a0351f525a53d9 
which explains things better, but still that thread ends with:
'It would take all of 10 minutes for the OpenID foundation to say "this
spec is at-the-least copyright us and redistributable under the CC
Share-Alike License" and drop that license onto the specs and on the
site's IP policies page -- which I'm hoping they finally do.'

He's right, it would take all of 10 minutes, certainly not 2 years - so 
where is the license - what's stopping this from happening? I *really* 
don't follow here.

aside: on the intellectual property page you have 'These documents are 
listed below as well as available here.' But there's no list below and 
the 'here' link returns a 'You don't have permission to access /ipr/ on 
this server.'

Best,

Nathan
