notes
Previous version was http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2002/copyright- software-20021231 This version makes clear that the license is applicable to both software and text, by changing the name and substituting "work" for instances of "software and its documentation." It moves "notice of changes or modifications to the files" to the copyright notice, to make clear that the license is compatible with other liberal licenses. There is also a short notice version at https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2015/copyright- software-short-notice.html
