Greetings.
It shouldn't be that implementing standards of any kind requires any
royalties. Standards as such are meant to be a kind of an agreement
to make life and business easier. We agree upon them to support
competition on the market. In my opinion IETF must not sanction
any monopolies in any way. Accepting TLS authorization would
give RedPhone Security enormous advantage in their business.
There are two options for IETF:
1. Force RPS to give royalty-free license to everyone.
2. Create a competiting free standard.
