As the chairs have asked for information about personal deployment, I
wanted to share my view on the topic of IPR:
In light of the license terms, I will not be coding any implementation
of the portions of SenderID that are covered by the IPR claim.
I will add my own personal deployment take.
I am the co-author of one of the most widely used SPF implementations.
Since I wrote the implementation in order to help out with the
spam/forgery problem, it is important to me to have this
implementation distributed far and wide. It is also important for me
to run my own code.
I do not believe that the current SenderID license will be accepted by
most Linux and *BSD distributions and code requiring that license
would be excluding from those distributions. A great deal of work
has been done by others to get this SPF implementation into various
distributions and patches written for most MTAs.
It I believe that it would therefore be counter productive to develope
or deploy SenderID. I believe that this will likely slow the
deployment by many others.
