Simon,

4.3.  Example License Text

   Here is a simplistic patent license that would grant third parties
   the necessary rights in order to use it in free software.


               X grants a worldwide, non-exclusive, fully-paid,
               perpetual, royaltee-free patent license to everyone for
               any purpose.

   [XXX: Most likely, this section will be heavily modified based on
   feedback from the community.]

As you certainly realise, this isn't going to happen. I am not speaking
for any particular company, and certainly not for the one that pays me,
but it's clear that no company in today's IT market and today's legal
environment could make such a grant. Any RF license is going to come with
conditions that protect the IPR owner in certain ways.

    Brian
