AIUI intellectual property is a loose term grouping several distinct
areas of law:

* trademarks
* trade secrets
* patents
* copyright

unless you hold patents, are party to trade secrets or plan to
infringe trademarks then copyright's the main issue right now.

I think that for DK we have to deal with their patent and the license for Implementing the Specification.

http://antispam.yahoo.com/domainkeys/patentlicense1-2.html

We need ASF legal office to review that license to see if we can distribute a DK implementation under ASF umbrella with an ASL2 project using that patentlicense.

THe only other license usable is GPLv2 that unfortunately is not compatible with ASL2.

AFAIK Noel forwarded a similar request to some ASF license expert member a lot of weeks ago, but I think we had no answers.

Tom: I think you should file a JIRA issue and grant rights for inclusion to ASF (there is a flag when you add attachment). Make sure to add a comment including a link to the license above so maybe once we have the code we can try to hurry an answer.

Thank you,
Stefano
