Hi all, I think I have some good news. Huawei has updated its IPR disclosure. Please see
https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/ipr_detail_show.cgi?ipr_id=724 The license has dramatically been changed: ************** If technology in this document is included in a standard adopted by IETF and anyclaims of any Huawei patents are necessary for practicing the standard, Huawei will not assert any patents against any party that implements the standard, however that Huawei retains the right to assert its patents against any party that asserts any rights against Huawei; and Huawei retains the right to assert its patents against any product or portion thereof that is not necessary for compliance with the standard. ************** I am a bit stunned that Huawei updated the disclosure silently (on the 20th). I am a bit puzzled if another update might again impose more stringent terms. I still think the patent itself is theft of other person's work. Unfortunately, the disclosure still does not mention which section of the I-D is threatened by the patent. But the change is a very welcome one and I wanted to make you aware of it.
