Then it makes no difference at all, since the existing license is
perpetual and sublicensable.

But that's bound by, and subject to, the Specifications unspecified by 
a broken link.

Really, this is not a productive line of argument.

Sadly agreed. Non-productivity stems from using patent encumbered 
ideas and suspecting that DKIM, much like a pigeon, can be shoot down 
as soon as it flies. Isn't there anything that the IETF can do, in 
connection with rechartering, to get out of the impasse?
