The above text is not always true. Something could move from a Note to an informative Recommendation and have no licensing obligations. Basically, I think you should avoid any statement that declares when there are or aren't licensing obligations; that's the job of the patent policy. Proposed alternative: "The W3C Patent Policy describes licensing goals for W3C Recommendations; not Group Notes." Ian -- Ian Jacobs <ij@w3.org> http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel: +1 718 260 9447
