As part of the preparations for the video-codec effort, we (Mozilla) are
seeking feedback on a set of suitable IPR licensing terms. We hope these
terms could be used (voluntarily) by all (or at least most) contributors
to the effort, which would simplify the legal analysis required to
deploy the codec. draft-terriberry-ipr-license-00 contains a first draft
of such terms. We're very interested in getting feedback on them, both
from those making contributions and those who might implement or deploy
the codec.

Abstract:
This draft gives provides an example set of licensing terms for use
in IPR disclosures that are compatible with the goals of the proposed
video-codec working group for further discussion and refinement by
participants at the IETF. Although usage of such a license is
strictly voluntary, the hope is that getting agreement on a set of
terms before the bulk of the work begins will allow contributors to
use a common license and minimize the amount of legal analysis that
must be performed in order to deploy the codec.
