Subject: placing a dollar value on IETF IP.
Since there is now a specific value estimated by the LINUX community at
1.4B for the kernel itself, the IETF can no longer hide its head in the
sand claiming that its workproduct has no specific value. This also means
that ANY AND ALL contributions to the IETF no matter when they happened
now need to be formally acknowledged for their financial value at the time
of their contribution.
This is not an OPTION.
