Why did the W3C, which is part of MIT, a supposedly respected academic institution, take my name off the RSS 2.0 spec? They should explain this, fix it, and probably apologize.

RSS 2.0 specification

BTW, after noticing/remembering the CC/attribution license, it all becomes a lot clearer.

So I wrote it up on my blog as a first step.

W3C and my RSS spec

The W3C removed my name from a CC-BY licensed document I wrote.

@davew copies are good though; your hoster may not go away but you don’t know that for sure; they may change URL schemes; when you leave that university they’ll most likely delete your site; more places means more visibility

they must fix the licence violation of course

@mirabilos

Please. That’s what archive.org is for.

And the “hoster” is Harvard University, which is quite a bit older than the W3C.

And the spec has been there for over 20 years!

@davew archive.org is great but not discoverable, nor updatable
