I don't know what you mean by "debating", but you might want to take a
closer look at the IPR disclosures page.

While I have problems with software patents in general, I realize that
is not an issue that should be dealt with in an IETF WG.

The Yahoo Domainkeys patent license is available at:
http://antispam.yahoo.com/domainkeys-license-01

While I have not reviewed it closely, it is my understanding that it
has no conflicts with either Free/Open Source Software, nor
proprietary software.  *This* was the issue that caused so much
problems here.  (Well, that and various unresolved technical problems
with the PRA.)
