Read the leaked letter. It used to be called "Reasonable and Non-discriminatory" (RAND). I guess that name got a bad rap, since now they call it "Fair, Reasonable and Non-discriminatory" (FRAND). I guess if you put "fair" in the name it makes it so.

I call it Un-Discriminatory :-)

Interoperability is not enhanced by attaching extra legal obstacles. I fail to see the sense in which the BSA thinks to help interoperability here.

Please make the suggestion to the right people! Who knows, it may pass through.
