	                    <p>This version: http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2002/copyright-documents-20021231</p>

                     <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, moves
information on style sheets, DTDs, and schemas to the <a href="http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/IPR-FAQ">Copyright FAQ</a>, 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". See
the <a href="http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/copyright-documents-19990405">older
formulation</a> for the policy prior to this date. Please see our <a href="http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/IPR-FAQ">Copyright FAQ</a> for
common questions about using materials from our site, such as the translating
or annotating specifications. </p>
