[www-patentpolicy-comment] <none>

I am extremely concerned about the proposed patent policy changes and the
comments surrounding this issue. It is my own opinion that the standards
embraced by the w3c must be free and open for use by all. Therefore any
policy that leads to the 'not for free licensing' of core technology is
wrong. I think there are concepts for 'services' that are delivered by one
or more 'mechanisms' . You may pay for the service but any adopted standard
mechanism should be free and open.
