Malte's talk at OOoCon2005 on Digital Signatures (http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2004/presentations/friday/timmermann_digital_signatures.pdf) touched on DRM.

I have not met many people or organisations that want DRM, but then that may be my fault :) But for those that do, do you think what is offered by the Coral Consortium is worth considering for OpenOffice.org ?

See: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/01/24/community_source_program/
CE giants open DRM to the community
[Faultline, The Register, 24 January 2005]

"The leading vendors in consumer electronics have banded together to create a Community Source Program for digital rights management and will license the whole kit and caboodle, the patents, copyrights, compliance logo and source code to anyone that wants it.

Effectively CE DRM is going open source (to the extent that Community Source is the same as Open Source) in order to flood the market with DRM systems and route the threat offered by Microsoft in consumer electronics.

The move comes from the leading lights in the October announced Coral Consortium, and the DRMs that can be created with the new development tools will all be compliant with and ready to interoperate through the Coral interoperability standard."

All the best
