Second point - at this time Microsoft has no patent or any other IP
relevant to this and is not forcing anyone to take out a
license. Therefore, no license is required as of today. We are talking
about a *possible* patent that *may be* approved in the future. As
Microsoft states in their FAQ:
This just makes the SenderID license requirement a time bomb waiting
to go off. For all I know, the patent was granted 5 minutes ago.
