Thanks, TimBL, for your explanation, and for your comments to the Working group, which are linked from the message http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-patentpolicy-comment/2001Oct/1675.html The main problem I see is that once RAND mode becomes acceptable, pretty soon it'll be the norm. If anyone would like to see what a minefield this could become, have a look at the "voice browsers" IP disclosures at http://www.w3.org/2001/09/voice-disclosures.html It has at least ten disclosures with offers of RAND licensing, and only five disclosures with offers of RF licensing. How on earth is an open-source developer supposed to deal with that? Glenn
