The current drafts have almost identical text in Notices section, but the place of (i) is different and needs to be fixed.
The board approved paragraph is:
OIDF grants to any Contributor, developer, implementer, or other interested party a non-exclusive, royalty free, worldwide copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works from, distribute, perform and display, this Implementers Draft or Final Specification solely for the purposes of (i) developing specifications, and (ii) implementing Implementers Drafts and Final Specifications based on such documents, provided that attribution be made to OIDF as the source of the material, but that such attribution does not indicate the endorsement by OIDF.
