„Eolas“ – Versionsunterschied

Zur Zeit liegt Eolas mit [[Microsoft]] im Streit. Dabei geht es vor allem um die Gültigkeit, aber auch um die Nutzung des Patents im [[Internet Explorer]]. Nach einem [[Urteil]] von [[2003]] musste Microsoft 512 Millionen Dollar an Eolas zahlen; im [[Oktober]] 2003 schlug Microsoft vor, den Internet Explorer und die enthaltene Technik zu ändern, um Lizenzzahlungen an Eolas zu umgehen.

 

 

<!--The inventor of the World Wide Web and the Director of the [[World Wide Web Consortium|W3]] Consortium Sir [[Tim Berners-Lee]] wrote to Under Secretary of Commerce, asking to invalidate this patent, in order to "eliminate this major impediment to the operation of the Web". In a remarkable turn of events, the leaders of [[Open source|Open Source]] Community sided with Microsoft in fighting the patent due to its threat to the free nature of the Web and to the basic established [[HTML]] standards. The specific concerns of having one company (Eolas) controlling a critical piece of the Web framework were cited.
