The IETF should reject acceptance of the Transport Layer Security Authorizations Exetension (TLS Authorization) as a standard. Since use of this proposed standard is protected by a patent issued to RedPhone Security and since RedPhone has not made a free license available to any and all potential users without restriction then if the IETF were to accept this as a standard it would be encumbered and not open.
