This message is from the T13 list server.
I was forwarded an interesting blurb from the SATA website:
"Effective April 15, 2003, The Serial ATA 1.0 Adopters Agreement ("Agreement") will no
longer be available, except for where required by the Agreement. The Agreement
provides a license to the Serial ATA 1.0 technology. The terms of previously executed
Agreements shall continue to apply. Those wishing to execute the Agreement are
encouraged to do so before the April 15 deadline. After April 15, 2003, a license to
the Serial ATA 1.0 technology may be obtained from the INCITS T13 organization under
the licensing terms of the INCITS T13 organization."
Unless I misunderstand something fundemental, we don't "license" technology from T13.
Perhaps we should get them to alter that text?
