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. > Also, the links from the summary are to a closed part > of the web site. Yes. The original call for license terms and patent disclosures was W3C Member only. Then there was, shall we say, a bunch of talking.
