Re: [syndication] Re: RDF under patent attack?

I agree. The worst possible outcome of this is that the FUD will stop
people from using RSS and RDF until these issues are resolved. Even
if the claims are completely baseless, this will take time to find a
conclusion.

Public outcry, banner campaigns and legions of righteous Slashdotters
won't do any good in this case; we're not dealing with a large
corporation that has to worry about a reputation.

Cheers,
