Hi, WebApps WG-
Please be advised that Apple has disclosed a patent [1][2] and excluded
claims from the W3C Royalty-Free License commitment of the W3C Patent
Policy [3], for the Widgets 1.0: Updates specification [4].
The W3C Team, in conjunction with the Chairs and Apple, are now
following the procedures for launching and operating a Patent Advisory
Group (PAG). [5] We will update this Working Group as more details unfold.
