The W3C has always developed open standards so interoperability could become a real thing (tm), not the nightmare supporting several different browsers currently is. The RAND licensing is step back in the way towards an open, free and plural WWW. Not only inhibits the free software development based on (now not so) open standards, also the small and medium enterprises will have their products artificially raised in price making hard to compete against the big enterprises that are currently pushing this RAND licensing ahead. Please keep the standards really open and free (now refering to freedom and price). Thanks in advance, Xabier Ochotorena ochoto@diariolinux.com
