Okay folks –PLEASE DO NOT go down
this rathole for the 99th time by debating this topic on the TC list.
The OASIS SSTC is bound by the OASIS IPR Policy
and TC Process. These policies and processes are quite clear. The SSTC will
follow these policies and procedures as we work towards OASIS standardization
of SAML 2.0. This means that we will ensure that the TC website has the “appropriate”
declarations.
Few, if any, of us are lawyers, so flooding
the dist list with yet another long round of debate on the matter is pointless.
If anyone feels that the chairs or TC
members are not abiding by the OASIS TC process or policies, then take it up
with the chairs and OASIS administration. Just please keep it off the list.

At this point, you can go to the liberty site to
review the disclosures.
A summary of the information there (you can read
it yourself if you
like) -- You should also note that I am not
a lawyer and am not
providing you with any kind of legal advice -- get
your own lawyers
to do the review):
There are 5 diclosures.
AOL's is on IDFF and ID-WSF and has
issued and non-issued
patents listed.
Catavault's is on IDFF but only lists
NON-Issued patents.
Citigroup's is on ID-FF but only
lists NON-issued patents.
Fidelity's is on ID-FF and lists an
issued patent.
Sony's is on ID-WSF (NOT ID-FF).
NON-Issued patents have no standing so Catavault's
and Citigroup's
statements are about stuff that was not yet real
IP.
Sony's is about ID-WSF, not IDFF, so it doesn't
matter in this
context.
So that leaves us with AOL's and Fidelity's
statements which both
provide reciprocal royalty free licenses.
I'm not sure which of the 5 participate in the
SSTC (other than AOL,
of course) and I don't know if any of them will
feel the need to
make statements in OASIS beyond what they have
already done in
