IP issue w.r.t. SOAP standards
The article was a fact-free fear-mongering piece of
crap.
Having said that, however, during my (brief) W3C
membership, I will say that MS was strongly and actively in favor of RF
(royalty-free) for all web standards, and backed it up in all their
patent declarations on anything they submitted. IBM's support was
weaker, and rumor had it that they were the ones who initiatied the RAND
(reasonable and non-discriminatory) concepts.
Asking the participants here to represent their
company's position is silly; never happen. /r$
