To whom it may concern! With respect to the increase of terrorism I've often heard that the 'free' world will defend it's highest value -- freedom -- against any intruder. To my insight, the World Wide Web evolved in the manner it did mainly due to its free standards. Why shall this freedom be constricted? Please, keep backdoors for patents which restrict our freedoms out of the standards! Prohibit the imposition of "field of use" restrictions on patent claims! I would like to see my descendants experience the same freedom of the World Wide Web that I have been used to. Don't sacrifice this freedom for monetary benefits of a few companies.
