I also support SenderID. 

I do not believe the IP issues regarding the PRA algorithm are
unsolvable; either the MS license can be changed to facilitate OSS
deployment, or [....]

This makes no sense.

There is *zero* reason to believe that if MS wins IETF approval of the
current license that they will change later on.  MS has been under a
lot of preasure for months and they really have barely budged on the
critical issues even when it is clear they risk getting approval.

[...]       or a nonincumbered algorithm with similar effectiveness to
PRA can be found and substitiuted.

What you are saying here is that we wouldn't be accepting SenderID!


So, if you are willing to accept something other than SenderID, why
don't you demand a better license *before* it gets approved?
