Subject: News today on IBM patents and OASIS
See todays' NYT for an important development from IBM. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/11/technology/11ibm.html?pagewanted=2&en=d2b I find this most welcome - and the article contains many insights particularly on Page 2. There is clearly much more to be done here - including possible fine tuning of the draft IPR policies to directly encourage others to follow IBM's ground breaking lead here? And for OASIS to influence these moves that are afoot worldwide so that implementers of OASIS specifications can do so in confidence and in a spirit of true open collaboration for the benefit of the industry. Obviously we will have more opportunity to discuss this in New Orleans!
