Hi all, We need to have a charter[1] available for review by the W3C management and Advisory Board in the next few days. Part of that is the new W3C Patent Policy adopted in February, which states that W3C deliverables are to be royalty-free. Please review the charter, particularly the paragraph below, and the Patent Policy[2], and respond with any questions, comments or concerns as soon as possible. 10. Patent Policy This Working Group operates under the 5 February 2004 W3C Patent Policy[2]. To promote the widest adoption of Web standards, W3C seeks to issue Recommendations that can be implemented, according to this policy, on a Royalty-Free basis.
