Re: the posting just delivered on XML-DEV ------------------------------------------------ Len, Thanks for clarifying what you say is your "fundamental position," viz., "that the arguments offered by Lessing and the W3C are not persuasive" with respect to patents and open standards... ------------------------------------------------ This represents an email message sent on May 11th when response was relevant, but DNS problems apparently prevented the message being sent. Meantime, I composed a corrected/updated version of the posting (which still has not been delivered), and other interesting comment on the patent topic has been supplied by Rick Jelliffe. Also meantime (offline), Len aka Claude has been educating me in detail about the raj, and working within the system for political change rather than confronting it. I think the patent system is rather more broken than he seems to think, but I take his point into serious consideration. I have therefore re-written the initial portions of the document at http://xml.coverpages.org/patents.html trying to incorporate Len's advice. It still fails, no doubt, but perhaps it's better. This will be an interesting story as it unfolds. Robin Cover
