Comments on: Warming up to open source

Web services standards group OASIS offers trio of patent policy options, but open-source purists say it's still too patent-friendly.

Good solid open standards base

The industry needs a good solid base of open standards that are completely unencumbered. The competition should be centered around the quality of the implementations of those basic standards whether they are open source or proprietary.

agree

Without open protocols everyone suffers. The world wide web would have gone nowhere if the attached protocols were proprietary and required royalties.

The best thing about standards...

...is that there's so many to choose from.
