Patent Policy Framewrok

The new proposal for allowing patented technologies in
web standards is completely against what a open
standard is supposed to represent. All this will
provide is a larger cash flow to the compaines that
already charge through the nose for their software and
really don't need more money and less capabilities for
the small shop programmers that can not afford to buy
the rights to use the patanted open standards.

Does this really make any sense to any of you or is
this just another pay off by the big companies that
support your finincials????
