Dear Sir/Madam, Having just been made aware of the W3C's proposed RAND licensing scheme for standards, I would like to voice my objections. The Internet as we know it has been created by fully open standards, enabling everyone to participate. Whilst an organisation is obviously free to develop a process which is based upon a patented device, I do not believe it is in the wider interest of the Internet community for such processes to become global standards, and thus I do not believe the W3C should be encouraging such standards. Yours faithfully, Philip Kendall -- Philip Kendall <pak21@srcf.ucam.org> http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pak21/
