RE: [saml-dev] Which version to use?

["Darren Platt" <dplatt@pingidentity.com>]

I was catching up on some email and came across this message, and wanted
to provide some clarifications on SourceID's roadmap and licensing.
 
Ping will release a SAML 2.0 tool kit in the first half of '05 under
SourceID.  The tool kit will be licensed under the OSL (which is OSI
approved) - this license is free for both commercial use and
distribution.  You can read the license at:
http://www.sourceid.org/license.do?id=3
 
Please let me know if you have any questions.
