A priori IPR choices for IETF specifications

[Lawrence Rosen]

If you are concerned about open standards, you might want to follow a recent
thread on ietf at ietf.org, topic "A priori IPR choices". 

 

On the table there is my proposal to re-charter the IETF IPR-WG to "propose
policies and procedures, consistent with the worldwide mission of IETF,
which will result in IETF specifications unencumbered by restrictive,
non-free patents."

 

Those of you who participate in IETF activities (and everyone is welcome to
do so!) might want to subscribe to that list and tell us what you think
about that proposal.
