    Can you address your issues specifically. That format is
    experimental at this and we are looking for ways to improve it and
    make it useful for everyone.<br>

    I think it is GPL V2 and LGPL (unknown version). It may have
    recently been upgraded. I am pretty sure that the license is a
    publicly available one, so "yes".<br>

    I think that only works for patents. Trademarks (I think) are
    first-to-file. Copyright is the first to express in a tangible
    media. It is easy to make a license less restrictive. There may be a
    lot of problems making it more restrictive. I recommended the most
    restrictive just to cover yourself while you investigate. <br>

              <div>John,<br>
                <br>
                Are you aware that Don Brutzman did an initial JSON
                converter using a style sheet to go from .x3d ->
                x3d-json. The description is at <a
                  moz-do-not-send="true"
                  href="http://www.web3d.org/wiki/index.php/X3D_JSON_Encoding"
                  target="_blank">http://www.web3d.org/wiki/index.php/X3D_JSON_Encoding</a>.
                The code is at sourceforge (link in the wiki page), and
                has been added to X3D-Edit.<br>
                <br>
                Yvonne Jung developed a JSON loader for X3DOM. You can
                see an example at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
                  href="http://www.x3dom.org/x3dom/test/functional/flipper.html"
                  target="_blank">http://www.x3dom.org/x3dom/test/functional/flipper.html</a>.<br>
                <br>
                The initial work was completed last October. The wiki
                page lists several considerations. The Consortium is
                considering standardizing the JSON format. We would like
                everyone's comments and thoughts on the work that has
                been done, particularly where there are shortcomings or
                failures.<br>
                <br>
                Ultimately, the license choice is yours; however, which
                one you choose depends on what you what to happen with
                it. A very public use license will allow others to take
                what you have done and incorporate it into anything and
                resell it. If you are not careful with the name, your
                name could be co-opted too. If you want contributions to
                remain as open-source, than a GPL-type license might be
                the right choice. Wikipedia has a good starting page on
                software licenses: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
                  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_license"
                  target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_license</a>
                (Free license comparisons: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

                  target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_free_and_open-source_software_licenses</a>).

                Until you figure it out, I recommend that you be
                restrictive and only let people use it exactly as is
                (since you already put it out for public use). <br>
