Since it is an ASN file, and since it is freely downloadable from their website as i read hte section below we should be ok : http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/ # ITU-T Software Copyright Guidelines [Download Word or PDF file] 2.2 Software that should not raise any IPR issues when including it in a Recommendation The vast majority of software included in ITU-T Recommendations fall within this category. This category includes software that is submitted to a Study Group without any restrictions (as provided for in Recommendation A.1, clause 3.1.5). For example this includes, but is not limited to, formal description techniques such as SDL, MSC, ASN.1, GDMO, TTCN. The copyright for these is treated in the same way as text and has no restrictions in order to permit the normal distribution of this material for discussions within the appropriate groups and possible use, in whole or in part, in any resulting ITU-T Recommendations which are published. In addition, given that the material Software Copyright Guidelines issue 2.1.1 March 2005 -6- was submitted without any restrictions, the material can be used by those implementing the Recommendation, free from any copyright assertion by the submitter; however, the Recommendation would still be subject to the restrictions established by the ITU in respect to its copyright interests in the Recommendation as a document. Of course, normal technical considerations concerning selection of the most appropriate means of expression (natural language, formal description, software, etc.) apply. This category also includes software that is collaboratively developed by an ITU-T Study Group that is not subject to any entity's proprietary claim of copyright. For all software in this category, Section 3 of these Guidelines, and Annexes A, B, C, and D, do not apply.
