I apologies for being hasty with that email, and retract the statement
that Bitstream isn't involved in W3C at all. Sorry.

What I meant way, Bitstream are not involved in the W3C CSS Working
Group, where it seems EOT is being considered. You told me a while ago
that they are involved in the XSL Working Group. Please correct me if
I'm wrong, but the W3C patent policy only makes patent holding members
grant patent licenses for technologies that they are involved in the
Working Group for.

Therefore, Bitstream's patents regarding EOT are not deused by being
in the XSL Working Group; and how XSL would involve EOT, I have no
idea :-)

Cheers,
