>> "I'm pleased that royalty-free is at least an option, but would be more comfortable if it was the default," said Bruce Perens, a prominent open-source advocate. The new policy "still gives working groups the option of shutting open source out of a standard." <<
How, exactly, can they shut open source out? They can shut out products released under certain open source licenses (namely the GPL).. but that's more the case of the developers intentionally shutting themselves out of the standard.
If Adobe/Microsoft said "we won't pay any royalties to use standards".. would they be "shut out" if OASIS/IETF/etc. created a royalty "encumbered" standard? - Posted by: d_jedi Posted on: 02/09/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
