Draft policy approval

I was pleased to read that the W3C has reached a compromise whereby Open
Source and Free Software practitioners can continue to implement the
important W3C standards. 
I believe that this compromise both lets the W3C continue to be a
unifying body in internet related tenchologies, and lets Open
Source/Free Software coders such as myself operate without a team of
lawyers. 

I am howerver dismayed that the draft policy had not yet been approved,
and that the W3C seems to be dragging its feet on this imporant issue. I
hope that this draft gets approved withing the near future.  

Finally, I'd like to note that I am opposed to software patents, and
hope that they will be eliminated via legislation.
