I'm not sure I understand the "Upon request...will provide" clause. Actually, I'm sure I don't understand it... Does it in any significantly enforcable way *require* RedPhone Security to do anything? If so, then all the competitor has to do is send a postcard, so the defensive value is effectively zero -- anyone who is a significant competitor can certainly afford a postcard. If, on the other hand, it imposes no real requirements on RedPhone Security, what does it do? Why is it there? _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
