I sincerely hope that the W3C decides against the use of patents and licensing fees with their standards. Standards must remain open, and available to anyone, in order for true compatibility. Patenting standards and charging licensing fees for their use would serve only to strengthen the position of big business, and help them drive out their competition, especially in the cases where their competition consists of Free Software projects. Please, please do not allow this travesty to occur. -- Nathan <poznick@conwaycorp.net> PGP Key: http://drunkmonkey.org/pgpkey.txt "He who dares nothing, need not hope for anything." --Unknown
