  • 1.  [ebxml-msg] Microsoft IPR statement

    Posted 02-12-2002 09:51
    Attached is the text of the Microsoft IPR statement regarding SOAP 1.1  that
    I talked about on yesterday's conference call..
    
    We should either include it in the Messaging spec (my preference) or
    reference it (our Web Site?).
    
    Any comments ?
