@codehag who should have the licence for that?

Not sure, @ljharb @littledan what do you think?

that's a good question; generally the license needs to come from the contributors, so really i think it'd just be "contributors", and then whoever shows up in the commit log would be included?
Alternatively, it could probably be "ecma and TC39 members". It might be good to get a legal perspective.

@xtuc would you be able to make this update sometime in the next day? would be great to have it!

What about "TC39 members and other contributors"? I doesn't really involves ecma?

Ecma owns anything TC39 might lay claim to; legally the difference may matter, but ofc IANAL

I'm confused, what should I write?

Isn't "TC39 members" a bit odd if Ecma has 'members' and TC39 has 'delegates' though?
FWIW, it looks like test262 has a BSD license to Ecma International and an open discussion in which a concern about it has been escalated to Ecma. Perhaps this should be escalated too?

For some formality, how about "Ecma's TC39 Royalty Free Task Group"?

It can't go wrong this way.

thanks! |

How about we use Ecma's software license, as test262 does? http://www.ecma-international.org/memento/TC39%20experimental%20policy.htm |

That link redirects rather quickly to another page. I am not too sure where to find the text you are referring to... |
|
Yeah, this should be improved... I will contact the Ecma Secretariat for next steps. |

Here's a better link--my mistake! https://www.ecma-international.org/memento/Policies/Ecma_Policy_on_Submission_Inclusion_and_Licensing_of_Software.htm |
