Subject: [security-services] [Fwd: RSA Disclosure Q]
Rob: I have received the attached query from an OASIS member who would like some clarification on the RSA IPR statement before his company can make a decision about voting to approve the SAML spec. I don't have the email address for your corporate counsel, Margaret K. Seif, whose name is attached to the RSA statement; could you forward this query or otherwise come back with an answer? thanks </karl> ================================================================= Karl F. Best OASIS - Director, Technical Operations +1 978.667.5115 x206 karl.best@oasis-open.org http://www.oasis-open.org -------- Original Message -------- Subject: RSA Disclosure Q Date: Wed, 9 Oct 2002 00:37:17 -0700 From: "Chris Kurt" <ckurt@microsoft.com> To: "Karl F. Best" <karl.best@oasis-open.org> In reviewing the SAML specification and RSA disclosure for vote, there is an ambiguity that we would like clarification on. Specifically, the section of the disclosure below is an obligation to grant RF licenses to end users, and end users of products developed by toolkits or operating systems. However, it is not clear what licensing terms are committed to the toolkit or operating system providers themselves. The section below could be read to apply to end users only. What are the licensing terms for these products? <snip> The license terms for the RSA Patents will permit end-users to use the Licensed Products. However, in the event that a Licensed Product is a product (such as a toolkit product or operating system service) that is used to develop other products, the licensee of the RSA Patents must require users of the Licensed Products to obtain a license directly from RSA for the RSA Patents. RSA will grant such licenses on the same royalty-free terms described above. </snip> Thanks cmk
