About the Author
Mail Markup Language was invented by Austin Cheney. He currently works for Travelocity and the US Army Reserves.
Legal:Mail Markup Language contains two patent pending features that are owned by Travelocity LLC. Travelocity LLC. will be hence forth known as the Owner. No discusssion regarding licensing, fees, distribution, ownership, standardization, or any other concept of use, formalization, adoption, or monitization has occured as of 17 April 2009. The concept and technologies addressed by this website exist on the internet for unlimited and unrestricted discusssion. The content and views expressed on this website are solely those of the technology author, Austin Cheney, and are not associated, supported, or reflective of the Owner. Austin Cheney will be hence forth known as the Author. This website will not contain any content regarding sales, revenue, income, or other source of monitization occurance of any party and will never express projections regarding such.
The language schema has been lightly promoted on the internet roughly a month since 24 October 2008. Discusssions have already begun to arise regarding fears of proprietary ownership of email technologies. The fears are unfounded and lack rational grounding. To be adopted as a standard technology one of two things must occur:
- The MML concept and language are adopted as a standard by a known and industry respected standards body.
- The MML concept and language achieve industry wide usage to such a wide extent as to be regarded as a standard de facto.
Neither of those two cases will occur unless the Owner chooses to allow one, or both, case(s) to occur. In order for either of those two cases to occur a licensing convention must be considered that is favorable to either case. If the Owner wishes to keep the technology propietary a different class of licensing will be considered. Even open source technologies are protected and reserved by licenses that limit either usage or distribution and may be protected by patent.
