Licensed deliverables are registered with Sourceforge as several projects, e.g. dividing the project into three parts:
- XML/DTD and XML/Schema documented also in ASN.1 for Minimum Message Length and proof that the Consumerium protocol is efficient. This must probably be GFDL.
- Executables which implement this protocol and data model / schema / foundation ontology; The goal is to let programmers sharing some list of concerns collaborate to improve the way Consumerium signals those concerns to the consumer. Knowing who can be trusted with what code, who is and is not a saboteur working for the producers, is a key problem for which we need a trust model of some kind (this starts with "who will not break builds"). This will likely be a GPL or some other viral license with terms to make it easy to keep code making similar assumptions together in one module, and prevent bad copy problem and self-interested fork problem GPL creates - but which open source makes worse! So maybe consortium license is needed, a specific Consumerium License?
- Label data which can and must be consistently gathered and is what is subject to audit most often. The goal is to let organizations and people with expertise and historical, built trust in things like audit, anti-brainwashing techniques, fair economy and safe economy gather information from and about the producer. To avoid a centrally controlled information economy some party-like factions must be involved - these control our bureaucracy and code. Labels data gathering must be up to th factions. These may create their own consortium with their own consortium license, e.g. Greens will not let weapons companies use theirs, WAR FTP is not available for military use, but is a terrific product. Executables may also need to use the same license as the label data if there is a lot of markup specific to some faction that only that faction can be trusted to unravel for its own consumers.
