    Just in case folks haven't seen this:

    THE FREE WEB'S OVER, AS W3C BLESSES NET PATENT TAXES
    A belated storm of protest has greeted a move by the World Wide Web
    Consortium to bless fee-bearing patents as official web standards. The
    proposal would allow patents, such as the notorious GIF image format, to
    become web standards, thus giving the patent owners the right to exploit
    them commercially.
