RE: [election-services] NEW IPR POLICY

["David RR Webber \(XML\)" <david@drrw.info>]

Simon,

 

That is indeed the issue here - you stated - "only the EML syntax

Exactly what is the meaning of "which by definition is open"?

 

Your understanding of this - compared to what the new IPR RF allows

may be an issue - it certainly is for the OSI license folks.
