No. The patent policy is not to patent things. It is to protect technologies against patents. This is the opposite :) The patent policy says in very short that all participants of a group accept: 1. The technology published by the group will be Royalty Free 2. Any member of the group which has a patent on that technology should declare it to the rest of the group and explain their intent about it. So the group can find another solution for a specific feature if the company which owns the patent doesn't want to give it away. -- Karl Dubost - http://dev.opera.com/ Developer Relations, Opera Software _______________________________________________ Markdown-Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/markdown-discuss
