Hello, I'm writing you this mail because I read the following article written by the Free Software Foundation: <http://www.fsf.org/news/reoppose-tls-authz-standard/newsitem_view> Having read this I couldn't agree more to what they say: the IETF work is useful for the entire Internet and we would love to see sane, clear standards which help fixing problems and encouraging communication and information exchange between people and software based on standards. As a programmer of free software I wouldn't want to use standards which are patent-encumbered and expose myself to the threats of being sued by RedPhone as well as I wouldn't want to get a license from them just to be able to implement an (hopefully) open standard. Therefore, I urge you to reconsider the TLS authorization standard and hope for a proposal that both corporations and authors of free software can use without fear of legal issues. regards, Marek Kubica _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
