Abstract
With CIS stepping down from the OVAL sponsor, the XSD files should no longer have any CIS copyrights in them. As NIWC is part of the Navy, and the US government doesn't normally copyright files, the licenses will likely be updated without any specific copyright information. If you have any issues/suggestions on this, please leave a comment.
