RE: [security-services] RSA Security IPR statement

["Philpott, Robert" <rphilpott@rsasecurity.com>]

Hi folks,

 

I met w/legal, et al this morning where we developed a tentative process and timeline for obtaining licenses.

 

The general process will involve a small document download from the RSA website with fax-back of the signed license.  If necessary, RSA will then return a final signed copy to the sender. 

 

Legal will have an internal review draft by next Monday (5/13) and the team felt we should allow a couple of weeks for internal iteration.  So I think expectations should be set that the final document will be ready no later than 5/27. 

 

FYI - In case it helps, the license will be very similar to that used by Entrust for their patent #5,699,431 for CRL management.  See http://www.ietf.org/entrust_license.html

 

If the timeline or proposed process for the license is a problem for anyone, please notify Ted Tamionek, tkamionek@rsasecurity.com, and CC me.

 

FYI - Eve and I have discussed a general approach to including a reference in the specs.  A small, simple statement in the spec's will just refer folks back to the OASIS site.  From there, they should be able to find the description of the process and a link for obtaining the license.
