In other words, if you do not claim royalties from them, they give a
royalty free license and thus the whole question of what patents they
have ansd whether they apply simply does not arise). What adobe also
said though was that if a company gives them a rand license, they give a
rand license back.

Yes. The original call for license terms and patent disclosures was W3C
Member only. Then there was, shall we say, a bunch of talking.

What you see further down the page is the final, eventual statement that
each company made, the one that actually applies.
