Richard - you seem to think that their intentionally creating bad policy
controls the protection of your licensing of this IP and that may be the
funniest thing ever.
You and the OGC and the GeoPriv operations are all constrained by these
issues whether you like it or not. Sorry - the idea that the Guy in the
Labcoat gets to say "Never mind the little spud in the labcoat, pay
attention to the great and might Oz" is so much crap it's comical.
ANY GROUP WHICH CREATES IP MUST DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES, and pointing to
the IPR WG is the same incompetence that the whole IETF is run from,
that being IMHO a system designed to allow technologists to ignore the
laws and processes the rest of the earth is constrained by.
But wait - lets get BBN Legal involved to see what BB&N's formal take on
this is, and whether they as the home of TCP/IP implement the same legal
controls the IETF has in place.
"No" you don't want that to happen??? Yeah - that's what I thought you
would say.
