Anne - Well done! Sometimes navigating the OGC web site can be a bit difficult. And yes, we will be removing the click through license requirement in the near future. As a further FYI, GML Simple Features with the addition of Circle by Center point has been approved for use by the Emergency Management TC for use in a variety of EM related standards. Also, a GML application schema is the location payload encoding used by the IETF in numerous internet RFC's. If you have any questions, please let me know!
