I recommend that the deadline for public comment for W3C Patent Policy Framework (RAND) be extended so that all parties impacted by this proposal have adequate time to study the draft and formulate responses. This proposal could: * Weaken efforts to close the "Digital Divide" * Threaten Open Source Software * Erode trust in W3C and undermine its mission I strongly oppose the inclusion of patents in Web standards as proposed in the W3C Patent Policy Framework. I believe this runs against Tim Berners-Lee's vision of the World Wide Web. I support the views expressed in: W3C Patent Policy: Bad for the W3C, bad for business, bad for users -- by Alan Cox http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-patentpolicy-comment/2001Sep/0131.html\ -- Abhijeet Chavan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
