Therefore, I move that Sender ID be removed from the MARID recommendations
because it can never be a standard in the open source community due to its
licensing terms and the uncertainty of pending patent claims. In its place,
we should recommend SPF version 1, or SPF "classic", as currently adopted
and implemented by over 70,000 recorded domains.

I third Jonathan Gardner's motion. Not just because of Sender ID's license
and patent problems, but also due to Sender ID's various forged DSN
injection security problems. SPF "classic" (AFAIK) has none of these
problems, has had much greater testing and experimentation, and has several
working MTA implementations.
