Guy, maybe you can explain how you think this
patent is relevant to WS-CAF? I'd assume a similar (separate) email would be
required to the BTP mailing list - let's try to keep things sectioned
appropriately.

Subject: [ws-caf] Patent Issue(s)
Hi all,
As a TC member it is my duty to report that
there exists a US patent (US patent application 09/682,969 -- finally approved
about two months ago) concerning composite systems and an additional European
application being in process. This patent is probably relevant to the CAF
specs (and most likely to BTP as well).
Basically, the patent is an
extension of the Composite Systems VLDB paper we (Gustavo Alonso and I) had at
VLDB2000.
Best,
Guy
Dr.
