I understand that the W3C is opening for patented software in W3C aknowledged standards, thus for standards that requires the user to pay royalties. Such move is in deep confict with the inherent philosophy of the internet: To allow everybody to communicate freely and exchange opinions and information without any restrictions whatsoever! If you believe in the freedom of the mind, freedom of thinking and freedom of speech, ie. the fundamental rights of democracy, you should rethink your oppinions on this issue. I therefore appeal to you: Do not let the commercial interests in the internet seduce your mind! Regards, Erik -- , , /( )` Erik Nørgaard \ \___ / | Tagensvej 15, v. 303 /- _ `-/ ' 2200 Kbh. N.
