those terms seem reasonable to me. theoretically, what if someone said that their "reasonable nondiscrimintatory terms" were GPL? would IETF agree that these terms were reasonable and nondiscriminatory?

Seems > pretty clear (for legal-ese) to me. very clear, very well done, but if anything it adds to my list of questions rather than subtracting from that, since it begs the question, what is the objective definition of "reasonable and nondiscriminatory"? _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
