Boy do I agree with you - The creation of a standard *** should *** have 
nothing to do with IP rights or licensing. The creation of any standard 
should JUST be based on whether proper vetting happened and whether the 
minimum number of ports was created and formally tested for 
interoperability. Anyone - and I mean ANYONE should be able to get a 
Standard by making the steps happen.
