[x3d-public] Spearheading X3D JSON Schema effort; IPR

[Don Brutzman]

Sounds like no problems here.  Use of a tool isn't subject to copyright or patent or license, only the result documents themselves have that potential.  Thanks.

I have copied the Jsonix and Oracle Licenses into my x3djson repository under LICENSE for your perusal.  Practically everything I produce is based on or derived from the X3D standards, so any licensed there are valid too (please suggest which ones should be included in my LICENSE file).  There may be other packages included for using Jsonix.  I haven’t done a thorough evaluation of the technology involved in the Java in Jsonix and MSV, because I believe the Relax NG and Jsonix schemas and mappings are derived from X3D and therefore licensed that way.  I don’t know how to license generated code from those tools, except to include the various  licenses.  I am not a lawyer.  You are free do do whatever I have done.  I have tried to document the steps.  I need to do a better job of that.
