Regarding RAND license...

  Loosening these restrictions is in the interests of business who hold 
patents..
but not in the interests of the potential future business getting into 
the web.. and that's the problem.

Having a completely open stardard is definately better than having a 
standard with patents involved.
Completely open means anyone can take it and work with it... without 
paying the piper.
