Hello, I want to add my voice to the many who have already written in opposition to the RAND licensing proposal. Quite simply, I would like to preserve the ability of the software community to write free (or 'open source') implementations of W3C standards without having to pay patent royalties. If the RAND proposal were adopted, it could quickly lead to a situation which would discourage the creation of such software. --Mark -- If we were meant to get up early, God would have created us with alarm clocks.
