================================================================== This message was posted as a talkback at /news_story.php3?ltsn=2001-09-30-001-20-NW-CY ================================================================== I have been an Internet user since 1994 and now work within the industry at the infrastructure level. I am firmly opposed to the enshrinement of non-royalty-free corporate patents as W3C standards. I consider this proposal to be completely unacceptable from both a technical and ethical standpoint, and I ask that the W3C abandon this venture. With RAND, the W3C would be gambling with the very future of open networks and protocols. I am opposed to this crap shoot (conducted on behalf of corporations like Kodak) and pray that the W3C sees the error and rish inherent in this proposal. Thank you, T.D.
