I like this document a lot; kudo's to Simon for writing it!
My personal opinion is that suggestions for how to write a free
standard published as an informational RFC is much more useful than
trying to get consensus around some edict that the IETF _only_ publish
free standards.
I agree. There are a number of problems with the current draft (i.e.,
the reference to RSA patents -- those expired years ago), but none that
I think would block progress of the document. This is definitely worth
pursuing.
Me too. In a WG I've been involved with recently we had one
participant with a patent who wanted to make their declaration
open-source friendly but that took a few iterations (which
cost them lawyer time). If this document could help short-circuit
that, that'd be another good thing.
