I've just received this from "XML.org Daily Newslink. Tuesday, 11 February 2003" (dee schur)... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MS .Net Patent -- A Threat to Standards? Lisa M. Bowman, ZDNet News Microsoft is in the process of applying for a wide-ranging patent that covers a variety of functions related to its .Net initiative. If approved as is, the patent would cover application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow actions related to accessing the network, handling Extensible Markup Language (XML), and managing data from multiple sources. http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104-984052.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- It's sad that the technical efforts of the standards, are always between the political context of patents and the business context of the industry.
