As a CoMPAS user, I like to be informed about the IEC licenses used in CoMPAS repositories, So I’m aware of the legal risks.

Jeff from LF energy:

“I do strongly recommend that you include a note in your README (and/or create a NOTICE file) at the top level of the 2 repos, which lets users know about the IEC code and the EULA, and that modifications to that code may not be permitted, or may have use restrictions.”

https://github.com/com-pas/compas-open-scd/blob/main/packages/openscd/public/xml/Disclaimer.md is used for inspiration

Todo:
Add the current disclaimer to https://github.com/com-pas/compas-scl-xsd/tree/develop/src/main/resources/xsd

Add the suggested text (below) to the README.MD in both https://github.com/com-pas/compas-open-scd & https://github.com/com-pas/compas-scl-xsd/
