Sorry to be blunt, but what exactly is the point again of 'opening up
NetFlow' if there is going to be IPR stuff being smacked upon IPFIX and
thus encumbering it?

It's a defensive non-assert disclosure, which IMHO is equivalent to RF
for anyone who plays nicely. Actually a defensive non-assert may
indirectly *protect* a normal implementor, when you think about its
impact on a third party implementor who does try to assert a patent.
