Royalty-Bound Patents

I am very disturbed to learn about your groups intentions
of having "standards" that include patents. The fact that
this has been placed on a fast track only enforces my worst
fears. 

I fully support the comments of Alan Cox:

This action will in effect turn your organization, which up
till today I had the greatest respect, into nothing more
than rubber stamp shills for large corporate interests. 

RIP W3C.
