[ Thanks to Danny Weitzner
for this informtion. ]

From www.w3.org on 26 February 2002: Responding to comments from
the public, W3C Members, the W3C Advisory Committee, and the Open
Source/Free Software community, the Patent Policy Working Group has
released a draft Royalty-Free
Patent Policy for discussion and comment. Its goal is to
produce W3C Recommendations that can be implemented on a
Royalty-Free (RF) basis. Comments are welcome.
Read more in the press
release and backgrounder.

I hope that LinuxToday readers will have a look at the drafts
and send comments.

Thanks,

Danny Weitzner
Chair, W3C Patent Policy
Working Group
