	* Research and development is ~~inder~~ [[GFDL]]		* Research and development is under [[GFDL]] - some sections, e.g. [[glossary]] may have to be [[GFDL Invariant Section]]s to avoid tampering and sabotage by those who want to create a counter-Consumerium to hide truth about products.
	* [[XML]] [[DTD]]s and [[Schema]]s are under [[GPL]] (more ~~licensensing~~ schemes are considered)		* [[XML]] [[DTD]]s and [[Schema]]s are under [[GPL]] (more licensing schemes are considered) - again viral so that no [[bad copy problem\|bad copies]] or [[self-interested fork]]s can be created without us stopping them.
	* License for the actual [[Server]] and [[Client]] software isn't decided yet but it'll ~~propably~~ be [[w:Apache server]] style to stop installation of unconformant software '''pretending to be genuine''' [[Consumerium]] software. This is very important, because the [[Retail]]ers will totally freak out if there is even an minor possibility that the [[Price]] information can leak outside the physical shop.		* License for the actual [[Server]] and [[Client]] software isn't decided yet but it'll probably be something on the order of [[w:Apache server]] style to stop installation of [[bad copy problem\|unconformant software '''pretending to be genuine''']] [[Consumerium]] software. This is very important, because the [[Retail]]ers will totally freak out if there is even an minor possibility that the [[Price]] information can leak outside the physical shop. So there must be a [[Consumerium protocol]] that is actually implemented fo this data exchange.

			* Actual content of the system (if it gets built someday) will be using whatever license the information producer wishes though there will be guidelines on where [[Open content]] and where [[Proprietary]] licenses are preferred. Ideally the license could be [[factionally defined]], so that all [[Greens]] or [[Pinks]] or [[Reds]] could for instance agree on how data sharing in their faction works. This would be most efficient, especially if existing institutions like poltical parties and NGOs agreed to cooperate in factions matching their own politics and assumptions. They could have their own definitions of [[contested terms]] that would be allowed for in the software, so that as little political assumption as possible was built in to it (a good reason to leave [[contested terms]] open in the design phase and not to rely on any one definition, e.g. of "[[done]]").
