Dear Sirs, herewith, I would like to ask you to reject TLS authorization as some kind of standard. I, as a software developer, cannot implement this standard without dropping into the patent trap, having to pay the patent fees or, what is worse, cannot implement some kind of free software. Please keep standards free. Eike Lange University Duisburg-Essen Germany _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
