   VIII. Other Notes:  ** A license to implement these specifications
will be made available at http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/standards on
or before September 15, 2004.

Then the compatibility of this license with implementation of SenderID in
Free Software cannot be determined before this license is actually
published.

Which makes it a show-stopper, as IETF cannot reasonably define as a
standard any protocol for which licensing terms are currently unknown.

So IMHO any IETF decision regarding SenderID has to be postponed as long
as the license is unknown.
