Re: [ebxml-dev] Freely available patents from IBM - but what about ebXML

[Martin Sachs <m.w.sachs@post.harvard.edu>]

(Yes, I am still lurking here.)

If Bob Sutor is still involved with OASIS, I would think that the best way 
is for someone to make a direct approach to him.

In addition, since I learned here, and Chris Ferris confirmed, that IBM 
WebSphere is now shipping CPPA, they ought to have some interest in getting 
IBM's ebXML story straight.

Regards,
Martin
