This is

as days pass by, by Stuart Langridge

. Here I write about many things. In the past I wrote about other things but the past is past. I write code for people to play with, I write about my life on Twitter, and I write here.

On I wrote No RAND in W3C standards, on the subject of Uncategorized.

Larry Rosen writes that the W3C have released their last-call draft of their patent policy. This policy has removed the parts that permitted royalties to be charged to those implementing W3C specifications, and that's a very good thing. Rosen goes on to say
"The community now needs to be heard supporting this policy so that it is not undone during the public input and W3C Advisory Council phase. Address your comments to www-patentpolicy-comment@w3.org."
This is absolutely true; if we show support then the W3C will have it affirmed that there are people out there who care about more than patent royalties. They do a good job; show them you appreciate it. -----
