[Discussioni] Debian weekly news: FSF on W3C's proposed patent policy

[Francesco Potorti`]

FSF on W3C's proposed patent policy. The [29]Free Software Foundation
(FSF) has [30]examined the [31]World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C)
proposed patent policy and found it wanting. The [32]proposed policy
allows for a "field of use" restriction which is incompatible with the
GNU [33]General Public License. The [34]comments archive shows few
comments from Debian developers and users. W3C is accepting comments
from the public until 31st December, 2002, at
[35]www-patentpolicy-comment a w3.org.
