The document supplies literature citations relevant to software patents and business methods patents in the context of widespread public desire to protect a "tax-free Internet." Topics include the recent US FTC/DOJ Joint Hearings on IP licensing terms and the ongoing work of the W3C Patent Policy Working Group in its effort to establish a W3C Royalty-Free Patent Policy. The document addresses a growing concern faced within government bodies and standard organizations regarding patents and IP licensing terms which legally encumber open standards designed for the Internet.
