Hi,
I wonder about wide spread adoption of SPF.
The license of MS isn't too friendly and already apache and debian
announced they cannot implement it because of licensing issues.
Domainkeys from Yahoo seems to have an easier license ....
Any chance the license will be changed or?
How do you folks look towards this issue?
Sender ID is not the same as SPF and if you want to know what greater
majority of SPF community people think about it, please see
http://www.openspf.org/OpenSPF_community_position_v102.html
SenderID issues also involve nimber of technical problems in addition
to more political issues, such as license. Unfortunetly Microsoft has
chosen to ignore all of them, same as it has chosen to ignore requests
by opensource software developers for more compatible license.
If you have problems with SenderID I recommend you contact Microsoft
and let them know about your concerns. If you agree with OpenSPF position,
you can go ahead and add your name to the list of signers there.
