They say:
"This is the next step in the standardization process, and it comes with stronger guarantees of stability and intellectual property protection."
I understand stability, and in the general sense I see that people feel they need to protect their IP, but in this specific case what is meant by "intellectual property protection"?
- choonway 2y agoI think it means protection from intellectual property claims in the future.
- vasilvv 2y agoW3C generally requires Working Group participants to provide IPR licensing commitments for the spec in question [0]. As far as I understand, higher level of specification maturity implies stronger level of obligations, though the specifics of what specifically changes when were never clear to me.
