W3C Working Group, Regarding the differing options between the W3C Consortium and GNU. It seems a mutually acceptable compromise would be to state that the royalty-free patents restrict scope only with regards to software of the same type i.e. WEB based to ensure extensions of standards do not corrupt the direction of an organized Internet while allowing open field of use for non related technologies i.e. non-WEB based. The GNU approach to provide, develop and extend the world of software must not be encumbered by this new Patent Policy. > Dale K.
