> This company is really starting to scare me. The UN Standards group or Microsoft?
If Microsoft, Why? The article also mentioned a couple of well known companies who also had issues with the same standards group (SAP in Germany inparticular) - primarily (it seems) over the groups insistance that Intellectual Property placed into the Open Source arena governed by that body would be indemnified by the contributing company. If I was involved with this group and was required to warrant something I placed into an Open Source project which I then had little control over how it would be used, I'd be pulling out too.
