Is Debian still a member of the OASIS group? I just looked at
their member list, and didn't see us listed.
I'm asking because of Lawrence Rosen's ``A Call to Action in
OASIS'', which I saw in today's LWN [1]. Apparently OASIS is
adopting a new intellectual-property policy that would allow
standards based on patent-encumbered technology, which would be a
bad thing for the open-source community in general, and Debian in
particular.
There are a lot of big names [2] at the end of the post, not
including our DPL.
