RSA letter to ISOC

1997-09-26 11:26:06
Hi Y'all,

This letter was sent to the ISOC today.

Cheers,
Steve Dusse


In furtherance of RSA Data Security, Inc.'s goal of promoting the
standardization work on the S/MIME protocol within the IETF, to the extent
RSA has any copyright interest or claim on the S/MIME specification Internet
Drafts  (i.e., draft-dusse-smime-msg-xx and draft-dusse-smime-cert-xx)
resulting from contributing authorship or otherwise, RSA hereby relinquishes
and disclaims any such interest or claim thereto and contributes them to the
public domain.

As a point of clarification, it has not been the intent of RSA Data Security,
Inc. to claim ownship of the mere acronym S/MIME as a trademark of RSA;
rather, RSA intends to create one or more pictorial logos which may include
the S/MIME name to connote RSA Data Security, Inc. as the source of products
and/or services associated with the S/MIME protocol.  To the extent
representations have been made inconsistent with the foregoing, and
specifically that RSA Data Security has claimed as a trademark the
stand-alone acronym S/MIME, RSA hereby disclaims any such ownership interest.
