I would like to thank Chris Lilley for his answers which have alleviated most of my concerns regarding SVG and the W3C's proposed patent policy. However, as an Open Source developer, I do not agree whole-heartedly with his statement that 'RAND is better than "nothing at all"': http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-patentpolicy-comment/2001Oct/0680.html > Right. RF is better than RAND, but RAND is better than "nothing at all" > which would have been the situation had we not done that. I suspect that this difference of opinion is shared by many and is the cause of the outrage expressed in the community. Regards, Francis James Franklin
