RE: DRM Coordination (was Re: XrML?)

Dear ChangYeol LEE

	Thank you very much for your reply. Could you please help me to
clear up my confusion.

	1. What is royalty-free and license-free?
	2. From your email, feels like you think that ODPL is preferred by
	   W3C as the standard rights language?

	Thousand thanks. Wish you all the best.
