Do you have any specific example of an internet standard for which you
think that lack of GPL-compatible licensing of any (perhaps just
hypothetical) relevant patents would not cause interoperability serious
problems if the patent holder chose to aggressive enforce the terms of
that non-GPL-compatible patent license?
