David,
My understanding is ebXML operated under the OASIS IPR policy, which has no
guarantee
that there will not be licensing issues. Therefore, I would be careful
about the term "public domain",
which may give impression otherwise.

Gasp! Shock horror - we forgot to read the fine print!
Ok - I'll prefer the more accurate "open standard" in future perhaps?
We live in eternal hope it seems, but under each new rock there
is another lawyer.
This UDDI one is a gnarly one though - but I'm confident we'll
get this addressed. The marketing powers that be will drive
change here I suspect...
Otherwise - how's you're summer been? Good?
DW.
