Dear Sirs,
According to Linux Today[1] you are planning to allow W3C
recommendations which are covered by non-expired patents.
I find that this will reduce the value of future W3C
recommendations.
I find that protocols and file formats covered by
non-expired patents are a serious threath to the future
development of the world wide web.
I strongly advice the World Wide Web Consortium not to
introduce a policy which allws W3C recommendations covered
by non-expired patents.
Kind regards
Jacob Sparre Andersen
