<DIV>Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention. I will be chairing a
session at the Barcelona TC meetings to discuss some proposed changes to the OGC
Policies and Procedures. I would like to add this issue to the agenda. Any ideas
about possible solutions would be most welcome. Quite honestly, in all my years
at the OGC, I never read this section of the OGC IPR FAQ. You are quite correct
in your assessment – Clear as mud!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cheers</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Agreed, the restriction comes out of trying to keep these things
unique (hence the request as a courtesy).
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I still think this is an interesting case where OSGeo and OGC could work
out a compromise for the benefit of all. It is within the mandate of OSGeo, and
help OGC standards reach an extended audience.</DIV>
