At the CommerceNet press conference it was stated that all the developments of 
the project will be public domain, reference implementations, open to all to 
use and build upon. There will be opportunities for any individual company to 
proceed to ruggedize, enhance and otherwise commercialize the public domain 
versions if they think there is a business case. As well, the specification for 
the secure version of HTTP will be an open specification, so totally different 
clients or servers (e.g. not NCSA Mosaic-based) can be developed.
