About the ITU-T Software Copyright Statements Database
In order to facilitate both the standards making process
and the application of ITU-T Recommendations, the Telecommunication
Standardization Bureau (TSB) is making available the ITU-T
Software copyright Statements database composed of information
that was communicated to the TSB by administrations, private
enterprises, etc. that participate in the standards making
activities of the ITU-T Study Groups. The Software copyrights
mentioned in the Statements are embodied fully or partially
in an ITU-T Recommendation.
This database is not certified to be either accurate or complete,
but only reflects the information that has been communicated
to the Telecommunication Standardization Bureau. As such,
the database may be viewed as simply raising a flag to
alert users that they need to contact the organizations
who have communicated Software copyright Statements to the
TSB in order to determine if Software copyright licenses
must be obtained for application of a particular Recommendation.
I Composition of the database
In each record of the database there are the following categories:
- Recommendation Number: The number of the Recommendation to
which the Software copyright Statement refers, ex: P.563.
- Id. Number: The identification number assigned to the
Software copyright Statement communicated to the TSB.
- Organization, Main contact: The organization that holds
the Software copyright which could include administrations,
private enterprises, universities, etc., and its contact
address. (The telephone number, fax number and e-mail
address of the organization)
- Licensing declaration: The option of licensing
declaration selected by the Software copyright holder.
- Licensing to other SDOs: "Yes" means that the holder
permits ITU to provide the Software under license to other
Standards Developing Organizations for standardization purposes,
under conditions that the SDO will ensure that an appropriate
copyright notice will accompany the software such that the
Software copyright holder will be able to impose on the
recipient of the software any terms and conditions associated
with the option selected by the Software copyright holder
in the declaration form.
- Software Name, Version: The title and version of a Software,
if given, in an organization's communication to the TSB.
- Attached documents to the statement: Attachment if given,
to an organization's communication to the TSB.
- Date Software copyright Statement Received: The date
when the statement of Software copyright Licensing Declaration
was received at the Telecommunication Standardization Bureau.
