Much of the communication on the Internet happens between computers according to standards that define common languages. If we are going to live in a free world using free software, our software must be allowed to speak these languages. We must not allow any one person, small business or Corporation to own standards of common language. Imagine if someone owned the Hyperlink protocol? Imagine if someone owned the universal resource locator protocol? We must keep Internet and the world wide web open and free. Anything less and its just digital TV. yours in free and open expression, John Summers Princeton, Indiana
