Subject: Re: [rights-requirements] Royalty Free Requirement
I agree with Patrick's interpretations of his various scenarios --- IMHO, none of these reasonably qualifies as an "implementation." Patrick continues: > I see implementation as the actual processing of an XrML > statement for the purpose of regulating access or usage > of a digital resource.

I think we can be more specific: I think we can say that any XrML-processing code that is NOT a precise implementation of the "Authorization Algorithm" is NOT an "implementation" of XrML. Which raises the question: under what conditions (scenarios) might there be a RF implementation of the XrML Authorization Algorithm? Note that this only meant to suggest what it means to "implement XrML"; I'm not in any way saying anything about the broader issue of the applicability of ContentGuard's patents to other DRM approaches, etc. John ---------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe or unsubscribe from this elist use the subscription manager: <http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl>
