Kevin, are you stating these assurances are no longer valid?

I am not a lawyer, so I would not make such a claim. What I am saying is that the mechanism for obtaining the licenses offered via those disclosures, which has been available for many years and used by probably thousands of parties, is no longer available. In addition, there does not appear to be a replacement mechanism available. There is a *similar* license offered via the WebRTC site, but it is very clear that it only applies to the WebRTC implementation, not the one in the RFC (or any others).
