Folks,
Here's the problem:
This list is for discussing the technology of DKIM and pursuing IETF
standardization.
The IETF has some rules pertaining to intellectual property and it certainly
makes sense to ensure that the IETF DKIM work conforms to those requirements.
It does not, however, make sense for this forum to have a discussion about the
subtleties of different kinds of licensing. It is neither the agenda for the
list nor the expertise of its participants.
There are actually two classes of licensing issues here:
- Licensing issues associated with the technology itself, e.g., issues
relating to IPR associated with any of the internet drafts. I consider
these to be somewhat in-scope here, as long as they don't get out of
hand or continuously revisit comments that have already been made.
- Licensing issues associated with a particular implementation. These
should be discussed on a mailing list associated with the particular
implementation, such as dkim-milter-discuss(_at_)sourceforge(_dot_)net(_dot_)
