Hi. I have to start with a confession; I'm not a programmer and don't know much about computers, I just use my computer for school, work and communication to family and friends. I consider that stuff pretty important, though. I caught wind that there was a proposal to make some common protocol language or languages patented. This is clearly a horrible terrible no-good idea for freedom of every computer user. I don't want to have to worry about my Linux OS being unable to communicate with anyone. It seems predatory that anyone would think of turning that into a threat to me. Thank you for listening. Michelle Wang
