Re: Standards and patents

Hi, Thx for your comments. Private walled garden creates lots of
interoperabilty issues. In the long term with deployments in the
field, even after the expiry of patents we end up for a workable
solution to carry unnecessary burden. e.g. I 'GUESS' pains of htonl
etc are due to patents. IMHO we need to free human brain & cpu for
more important issues. It is not fair for people who work on
unpatented baselines specifications. What would have been situation if
IP header was patented? Thx Samir

I agree, with the exception of "defensive" patents, some of which are
announced with very elegant disclosures.  Let's draw a veil over
incomprehensible and confused disclosures, for now.  For the rest,
what is the purpose of standardizing a private walled garden?
