Re: [Bodington-developers] [Tetraelf-developers] Bb patent and some more information

[Ian B. <ia...@ca...>]

You might like to add, if you haven't already that BB have signed the
IMS-CommonCartridge declaration along with Microsoft, D2L and others.

Steve Lay, if he is on this list, can clarify, but there are some 
obligations under that agreement that have an impact on patents that 
interfere with the IMS Common cartridge. Im not certain if its 100% 
relevant.

Another thought, if your VLE or Course Management System is not a VLE or 
CMS, but really a virtual research environment.... what happens ?


BTW, sakai-dev has blackboard employees as members, are there any in 
Bodington or Tetra lists..... perhaps they could voice an opinion?... or 
give some guidance :)

  (go on... you know you want to)
