Thanks A Lot, Folks

The Internet: for citizens as well as commerce?

The new W3C patent related policy seems a bad thing

The patent-policy change (RAND)

The Patented Internet

The policy change with respect to patents (RAND)

the shift in the position of the W3C on patented standards.

The W3C is dead

There is no need for this.

Think ahead

This is not a good idea

This isn't necessary. I mean the W3C, that is. This patent hoopla raises legitimate issues about the viability of the W3C

This policy is wrong

This will make the W3C be spammers!!!

true standards do not allow patented material

Turning out the light...

Unbelievably bad.

Universal freedom of expression

Unquantifiable Liability ? An Objection to the Patent Proposal
