- 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

- 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
