So basically, with one UNL Wikipedia it becomes very easy to have Wikipedias in all languages that have a UNL converter... Guaka 19:27, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The phrase that reads "...UNL and KCE (by CMU)..." is rather horrible to read, especially as neither KCE nor CMU links to a properly expanded name. I assumed "CMU" meant Carnegie Mellon University, but looking at CMU I wouldn't like to bet on it. As for "KCE", even if this is what it's commonly referred to, there's presumably an expanded name? Basically, I think it would be a good idea if someone "disambiguated" these links to make this sentence a little less dense. - IMSoP 00:07, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

... i.e. nothing related to UNL (and it is strange, because the link suggests it has something to do with UN).

I observed this too, and commented away the link. (Now the search links up to a patent on some plant or plant growth thingie, BTW). Since this patent statement is put under doubts, we may consider finding statements on this on the UN site, or else remove the dubious patenting statement. ... said: Rursus (bork²) 21:12, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There are patents: see UNDL property. US patents 6,704,700 and 7,107,206. The idea was to make UNL the property of all nations, but since OpenSource is custom among volunteers ... ... said: Rursus (bork²) 21:34, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
