[edit] Parts of this article are Copy&Paste
This text shares a paragraph or two with page 11 of this document — except that the paper in the link admits to its FOSS bias.
- As the article was rather one-sided on the topic of patents i just stripped much of those bias and instead concentrated the contents more on the licensing aspects including the problems that RAND still might represent. I hope this improved the overall situation. --Alexander.stohr 13:05, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Article Dispute
There is a dispute marker on the article. It mainly tells about that there are not enough sources for founding the provided statements. This might be the case - but i dont see much point to mark this to the reader when no one really objects here on the details presented by the article. --Alexander.stohr 13:05, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Not really in conflict with free software
The section about RAND being in conflict with free software is not really accurate. RAND is not a license, but rather a set of conditions a license must meet. Nearly all free software licenses meet the conditions of RAND. A better way to discuss the relationship of RAND to free software would be to say that to be a free software license, a license has to meet more stringent conditions than it does to be a RAND license. Thus, if a standards body only requires that things be under a RAND license, they might or might not also be under a free software license, whereas anything under a free software license would also qualify as a RAND license. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tim.the.bastard (talk • contribs) 17:29, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
