NOTE: Despite extensive research, it remains unclear to me who owns the copyright on MAFTIA deliverables -- perhaps it is some branch of the EU? -- and the MAFTIA web site does not clearly answer this question. In cases where this could be a concern, I suggest contancting one of the senior (former) MAFTIA organizers or perhaps the EU Information Society and Media Directorate-General (see this web site).
