Apple Tangles with W3C Over Widget Spec

Article Comments  9

Apr 8, 2009, 8:54 AM   by Eric M. Zeman

The World Wide Web Consortium's attempt to create a specification for mobile widgets has run into a roadblock in the shape of Apple.

Apple has indicated that it won't license the technology to W3C at no cost, leaving the W3C to investigate just what is covered by Apple's patent and plot its course of action.
