To: IETF list These are statements from FSF about the issue we've been
discussing at ietf@xxxxxxxx. http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/software-patents/draft-housley-tls-authz-extns.html

communities believe that the IETF patent policy must be improved. /Larry Rosen Lawrence Rosen Rosenlaw & Einschlag, a technology law firm (www.rosenlaw.com) 3001 King Ranch Road, Ukiah, CA 95482 707-485-1242 * cell: 707-478-8932 * fax: 707-485-1243 Skype: LawrenceRosen Author of "Open Source Licensing: Software Freedom and
