The Forum Informatikerinnen und Informatiker fuer Frieden und
gesellschaftliche Verantwortung e.V. (FIfF) (Forum Computer Professionals for
Peace and Social Responsibility) opposes publication of
draft-housley-tls-authz-extns as an experimental standard.
We believe that publication of patent-encumbered standards is unacceptable and
we welcome the IETF's decision not to publish the draft on the standards
track.
Patent-free standards are not only important for Free and Open-Source
Software, but for the entire software industry.
We ask you to respect the consensus that has been reached and not to publish
this draft at all.
The FIfF
The Forum Informatikerinnen und Informatiker fuer Frieden und
gesellschaftliche Verantwortung e.V. (FIfF) is an association of computer
professionals, educating the public about a wide range of IT-related issues.
