All, (01)
Once again, (02)
May I draw people's attention to the Ontolog IPR Policy (see:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiHomePage#nid32) (03)
... and cordially request that we move discussions of proprietary
technologies (and approaches) offline, or await the events/settings
when we make prior arrangement to waive the "openness' requirement for
vendors. (04)
Thank you for your attention. (05)
Regards. =ppy
