[x3d-public] question on page use, copyright and license

[Don Brutzman]

Another good way to record copyright for an X3D model is within the head section in a meta tag, matching HTML document conventions.  This covers the entire document (i.e. X3D model) and is suitable for all encodings (ClassicVRML, XML, JSON, etc.) and programming languages (JavaScript, Java, Python, etc.).

Example usage and further information:

[1] X3D Scene Authoring Hints, meta Statements
     https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dSceneAuthoringHints.html#meta

[2] X3D Scene Authoring Hints, License
     https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dSceneAuthoringHints.html#license

=============
X3D authors can place meta statements in a scene to document what license being applied. For example, one of the following is typically included in the X3D scenes found in the Web3D Consortium and NPS open-source example archives:

<meta name="license" content="../../license.html">

<meta name="license" content="https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/license.html">

[etc.]
