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!
