These are statements from FSF about the issue we've been discussing at [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/software-patents/draft-housley-tls-authz-extns. html and http://www.fsf.org/news/oppose-tls-authz-standard.html The GPL does not have problems with most IETF specifications, only those that are encumbered by non-free patents. This is an important example of why so many of us in the open source and free software communities believe that the IETF patent policy must be improved. /Larry Rosen Lawrence Rosen Rosenlaw & Einschlag, a technology law firm (www.rosenlaw.com) 3001 King Ranch Road, Ukiah, CA 95482 707-485-1242 * cell: 707-478-8932 * fax: 707-485-1243 Skype: LawrenceRosen Author of "Open Source Licensing: Software Freedom and Intellectual Property Law" (Prentice Hall 2004)
