If I produce software incorporating a W3C standard that prohibits use in a particular field, then presumably those restrictions would have to be passed on to my users. I would be unwilling to do that. When I write software, I look at the incredible wealth of GPL-licensed software and libraries available to me, so the I _don't reinvent the wheel_! If a W3C standard is incompatible with such licensing, such a standard will automatically alienate a huge code base, and a large developer base. That would be, quite clearly, unacceptable.
