FRAND problems are real
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, October 11 2012 @ 03:05 AM EDT
Partly off-topic, but if those advices clearly does not work in the context of
teenage life, trying them is waste of time at best. At worst, it may make his
problems even bigger.

It is not mandatory to follow advices of people who did not proved previously
that they are able to give good advice. Especially if you belong into
"everyone loves to give me advice" category e.g., teenagers, parents
and pregnant woman.

Yes, I'm a parent annoyed by random strangers and acquittance advices on
everything. Most often opposing the random advice given by somebody else 5
minutes back. (He is too cold - give him jacket; he must be warm - you gave him
too many closes (neither weather nor closes changed); you are too strict, you
are too benevolent (my behavior did not changed)).

In this case, I'm on the side of teenagers. It is not mandatory to consider
other people advice, since most of them does not work and changing strategies
every 5 minutes is a bad idea.

    It's pretty simple.

    Rather than accept patent-encumbered standards with the
    supposition that FRAND is sufficient to make the standard
    implementable by all, standard creating bodies should
    instead adopt the stance that all members of the standards
    body working group agree that any patents (current or
    pending) held by any member necessary to properly implement
    the standard grant a free and open license to those patents
    to all and sundry for the purpose of implementing said
    standard. In other words, all working group members agree
    to never seek a patent license for implementing a standard.

    This doesn't mean you can't have a patent (or that you can't
    enforce the patent for other purposes). Just that you
    cannot enforce the patent for the purpose of implementing
    the standard.
