Royalty-Free Patent Policy

It has come to my attention that your draft policy, 
has a bug in it with regard to GPL'd software see, 
 http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/w3c-patent.html 
for details of this, I personally would find this 
completely unacceptable. 
Only a policy which is completely compatible with the GPL 
(Gnu Public License), would be acceptable to me. 
hence I ask that the requirement be changed, to the 
requirement that the software be TOTALLY unencumbered, and be 
free in any and every way.
