RE: ENQUIRY ABOUT WHO OWNS THE HTML !!

No-one "owns" HTML, like no-one "owns" C++. Companies own HTML editors - for
example, Microsoft owns FrontPage - but then companies also own C++
compilers (Microsoft owns Visual C++).

The standard for HTML is laid out by the W3C, but I guess you already know
that or you wouldn't be posting to this list... would you....?

So what's this breakthrough all about then?

Greetings,

PLEASE, WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, WHO OWNS THE (HTML) AT PRESENT !!  IS IT
STILL RELATED TO THE FOUNDERS AT SWITZERLAND, WHAT EVER THE ANSWER
TO THIS, IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE THEIR FULL ADDRESS, BESIDE THEIR E-MAIL
ADDRESS, DO THEY HAVE A WEB
SITE?

WHAT ABOUT MICROSOFT AND NETS SCAPE, DO THEY OWN A COPYWRITE TO THE
HTML, IF THEY ARE INVOLVED WITH THE OWNER SHIP, WHAT IS BRIEFLY THE
SITUATION.  IF WE HAVE A CERTAIN BREAKTHROUGH OR ADDITIONAL ALTERNATIVE
ENHANCING CERTAIN CODES, SUCH AS AN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, ENHANCING THE
COLOR CODING, WHICH IS BASED UPON THE HTML COLOR CODES, BUT WITH A
DRAMATIC CHANGE AND ENHANCEMENT,  DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE IT AS A
COPYRIGHT AND ACCORDINGLY, CAN WE BE THE OWNERS (ALONE) TO OUR
COPYRIGHTS, OR WE HAVE TO SHARE IT WITH A SECOND OR THIRD PARTY, OR
DOESN'T HAVE ANY RIGHT TO USE, ORGANIZE, SPREAD OUR NEW CODES, TAKING
ADVANTAGE OF IT.

APPRECIATE YOUR QUICK REPLY.  THANKS AND BEST REGARDS.
