Thanks, Kathleen. This had been discussed on the OAuth list before, but just
in case you or the IETF legal counsel weren’t aware of it – the reason that
it’s OK to produce derivative works from OpenID specs, as
draft-ietf-oauth-dyn-reg did, is that it’s explicitly allowed by the OpenID
Foundation. See this text at
http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-registration-1_0.html#Notices – the spec
from which text was copied:
The OpenID Foundation (OIDF) grants to any Contributor, developer, implementer,
or other interested party a non-exclusive, royalty free, worldwide copyright
license to reproduce, prepare derivative works from, distribute, perform and
display, this Implementers Draft or Final Specification solely for the purposes
of (i) developing specifications, and (ii) implementing Implementers Drafts and
Final Specifications based on such documents, provided that attribution be made
to the OIDF as the source of the material, but that such attribution does not
indicate an endorsement by the OIDF.
You could pass that on to the appropriate IETF legal counsel if they’re not
already aware of it.

Hello,
Thanks for updating the draft. I just want to confirm that Hannes is okay with
the updated definitions and updates the shepherd report to reflect that.
This is getting held up a bit while we sort through copyright of text from UMA
and OpenID. The text from UMA went into an IETF draft, so that should be the
reference as it clears up any possible issues as they provided that text in an
IETF draft.
The chairs will be helping to sort out the requirements with OpenID, per our
discussions the IETF trustees. I'm not sure how long this will take, but
wanted to provide a status so no one thought this had been dropped.
Thanks.

Hi Justin, Hi John,
I believe that provisioning a client with a unique id (which is what a
client id/client secret is) allows some form of linkability. While it
may be possible to associate the client to a specific user I could very
well imagine that the correlation between activities from a user and
those from the client (particularly when the client is running on the
user's device) is quite possible.
Ciao
