Action of https://github.com/solid/specification/blob/main/meetings/2023-09-27.md#chat-client-client-spec-new-work-item .

Updates copyright and license. The text is based on respec's template.

Going forward we shouldn't use "Contributors" as a separate field because it is generally covered by the group - see the copyright line and CLA. Specs are the product of many contributors, so either the list is really kept up to date or don't bother. Anything more significant than a contributor is going to be an editor or an author.

(I originally borrowed Contributors idea from some W3C specs, and introduced it into WAC, which is why some of these Solid specs are re-using, but this is all in flux and there are changes in practises at W3C.)

So, for the foreseeable future, I recommend sticking to only Editor and Author roles. I suggest @hzbarcea to follow-up on #2 (as also discussed in 2023-09-27) on how specifically they want to contribute, and to please make that change in the specification in a separate PR or commit, e.g., reuse template from https://solid.github.io/notifications/protocol re Authors/Editors .

@csarven Is this still relevant and up to date.

@hzbarcea or @michielbdejong could you please provide a review.

@jeswr , some things have changed:

The template should be like https://solidproject.org/ED/protocol (because it can't be "W3C ED"). Ditto the content about the copyright and status of this document section should be same as Solid Protocol's ED, or alternatively, go in the direction of something like the Solid Protocol CG-DRAFT.

I'd like to step back from this PR (since it had no activity over a year about the fundamentals). I'm sure others can handle it from here.
