[occi-wg] OCCI Editor Getting Started Guide (docs/README.txt)

[Alexis Richardson]

With AMQP we created two docs, one with an AMQP open license, and one
that is BSD for things like codegen, which then passes DFSG.

That's also the reason why I proposed the former: I think that the correct process to cope with the points you rightfully raised and put to discussion would be to escalate them to the appropriate OGF roles and committees. This would, provided that we find the current policies not appropriate for the purpose they strive to achieve, allow the whole OGF community benefit from the IPR-related findings within OCCI and give the opportunity to circumvent the iceberg by making global steering corrections.
