PRA Patent: License for Display in MUAs?

2004-09-02 18:40:51
from [Michael R. Brumm] [Permanent Link] 

I'm wondering, since there has been talk about displaying the SenderID PRA
in MUAs, would Microsoft's patent claims and licensing apply to MUAs also? I
imagine that the steps used by an MTA to extract the PRA for evaluation
would be the same as the steps used by an MUA to extract the PRA for
display...

If licensing FOSS MTAs are problematic with SenderID, I'd imagine that FOSS
MUAs would greatly compound the problem.
