Subject: Re: [xacml] patent
As I recollect, OASIS requested us to evaluate whether any XACML specification might fall in the scope of patents held by others. I quote from a Dec 13th addition to announcements regarding Xerox's XrML: (http://xml.coverpages.org/xrml.html) : "ContentGuard's strategy appears to be to make money by licensing the technology -- whatever some outside body defines it to be. It can do this because its patents cover the idea of a rights language in general, no matter what the specifics of the language are". I know XrML has already been mentioned in our discussions from the technical point of view, but the wording of this announcements makes me suspect that we should explore the matter further from the patents' point of view.
