Re: Patent licensing decision

As a small open source software developer I am opposed to the inclusion of 
any W3C patent policy which could result in any company charging royalty 
fees.

I too applaud the up to now open source reference implementations and hope 
this standard continues to be the guiding light for future policy decisions 
regarding all decisions W3C makes.

This proposed change could possibly alter the ability of those independent 
developers to create competitive products and is not in keeping with past 
policy.
