Subject: Statement of Royalty Free license
The TC charter states the spec must be royalty free, using the following words: "* Standing Rules* In no event shall this Technical Committee finalize or approve any technical specification if it believes that the use, distribution, or implementation of such specification would necessarily require the unauthorized infringement of any third party rights known to the Technical Committee, and such third party has not agreed to provide necessary license rights on perpetual, royalty-free, non-discriminatory terms. " The front page of the CD .992 states: " For information on whether any patents have been disclosed that may be essential to implementing this specification, and any offers of patent licensing terms, please refer to the Intellectual Property Rights section of the Web Services Reliable Messaging TC web page (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/wsrm/). " The current IPR section of our web page states: " OASIS is not aware of any statements or declarations regarding IPR related to the work of this technical committee. " Is this enough to ensure the royalty free stance of this specification?. We need to resolve this before member review.
