It has come to my attention, that the patent encumbered method known as "TSL
authorization" is again being considered for inclusion.
I must object to this, as RedPhone has only granted a royalty-free license for
developers, but not for end users. This naturally makes TSL authorization
unsuitable for inclusion in an official standard, as this would effectively
make it a proprietary standard for end users.
There are currently two viable options:
A) Don't include it, and use another method that can solve the same problem.
B) Obtain a royalty-free license for ALL users from RedPhone.
Yours sincerely:
Anders Juel Jensen, Denmark.
