RF on Limited Terms specifies the exact Royalty Free licensing terms and conditions that may be included in a patent holder's license and that must be granted upon request without further negotiations. ref: http://www.oasis-open.org/who/ipr/ipr_faq.php ---- With TCs operating under the RF on Limited Terms IPR Mode, Obligated Parties may not impose any further conditions or restrictions beyond those specifically mentioned in Section 10.2.1 on the use of any technology or intellectual property rights, or other restrictions on behavior of the Licensee, but may include reasonable, customary terms relating to operation or maintenance of the license relationship, including the following: choice of law and dispute resolution. ref: http://www.oasis-open.org/who/intellectualproperty.php > These are the most liberal terms and make any Essential Claims available > to ALL and ROYALTY FREE. The notification clause mentioned in the FAQ has been considered an issue for the ASF, as it passes that obligation to downstream consumers of our code. Does that apply to UIMA? --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
