slow day today
18:31:40 [AaronSw]
I'm busy trying to figure out what's up with http://www.openphd.net/W3C_Patent_Policy/
18:35:22 [markd2]
guess the w3c sells out
20:56:59 [davb]
ack!

so abook uses lbdb and mutt?
21:18:25 [rbm]
err
21:20:57 [davb]
AaronSw: seems to me that this idea was not publicised for some reason... All the comments are from yesterday and today except for a couple.
21:21:07 [AaronSw]
Yes.
21:21:07 [davb]
Hopefully someone will get the point.
21:21:36 [AaronSw]
I sure hope so. I don't see how TimBL could approve this policy
21:21:42 [AaronSw]
He's always been very against patnents
21:21:50 [rbm]
moo?
21:22:46 [AaronSw]
moo
21:22:54 [rbm]
what's up everybody?
21:23:03 [rbm]
What patent is TimBL for or against?
21:23:22 [AaronSw]
rbm, see http://www.openphd.net/W3C_Patent_Policy/
21:24:14 [davb]
Can TimBL not approve it?
21:24:17 [davb]
I commented.
21:24:32 [AaronSw]
TimBL has veto power over all W3C docs at every stage
21:24:38 [davb]
Aha.
21:24:45 [AaronSw]
So for this to advance in W3C process it needs to get past tim
21:25:40 [davb]
Well, I can understand the point that these corporations are important to W3C, but the patent system in the US is broken. At this point its just a way for large coporations to take advantage of their position and money ot make more money.
21:25:52 [davb]
ohh that was good, should have put it in the email...
21:26:11 [rbm]
TimBL is the man
21:26:23 [AaronSw]
I dunno, the whole thing smells like some big mistake to me.
21:26:59 [davb]
Yeah. It could screw up the mission of the W3C if it plays out like the worst case where Aode, Apple, HP, IBM and Microsoft control the internet.
21:27:09 [davb]
Of course, that is not necessarily what would happen.
21:39:11 [AaronSw]
I weigh in: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-patentpolicy-comment/2001Sep/0531
21:40:23 [rbm]
M$ will soon control the internet
21:51:54 [AaronSw]

23:37:17 [davb]
