Dear Sir/Madam. "Much of the communication on the Internet happens between computers according to standards that define common languages. If we are going to live in a free world using free software, our software must be allowed to speak these languages". "Unfortunately, discussions about possible new standards are tempting opportunities for people who would prefer to profit by extending proprietary control over our communities. If someone holds a software patent on a technique that a programmer has to use in order to implement a standard, then no one is free to implement that standard without getting permission from and paying the patent holder. If we are not careful, standards can become major barriers to computer users having and exercising their freedom". "We depend on organisations like the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) to evaluate new proposals for standards and make sure that they are not encumbered by patents or any other sort of restriction that would prevent free software users and programmers from participating in the world they define". We and the "Free Software Foundation and the GNU Project" oppose publication of draft-housley-tls-authz-extns as an experimental standard. You can see by the above "Quotes" that every poor and jobless person who are very blessed by being allowed to use Gnu/Linux & Free Software, and the ability to interact with other people all over the earth, and yet there are "People/Company's" that want to take that God Given Right and abuse the freedom for a Human being to be able to express His or Her thoughts/feelings/laughter/dreams to other people who share a common goal. Will you please help us to stop this, "TLS-authz an experimental standard" Sincerely Mrs Jo & Brian Hadley. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
