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.
