Greetings. It shouldn't be that implementing standards of any kind requires any royalties. Standards as such are meant to be a kind of an agreement to make life and business easier. We agree upon them to support competition on the market. In my opinion IETF must not sanction any monopolies in any way. Accepting TLS authorization would give RedPhone Security enormous advantage in their business.
There are two options for IETF: 1. Force RPS to give royalty-free license to everyone. 2. Create a competiting free standard. -- Ćukasz Stelmach e-mail: lukasz.stelm...@iem.pw.edu.pl Warsaw University of Technology, IETiSIP, 00-661 Warsaw, ul.
