Its pretty clear, in "Each Author grants permission to OASIS and OASIS
members the right to copy, display, perform, modify and distribute the Web
Services Security ("WS-Security") draft specification and to authorize
others to do the foregoing, in any medium without fee or royalty, for the
purpose of further developing the WS-Security specification in the WSSTC as
set forth in the draft WSS TC charter". I suggest you take this to your IP
folks or are you asking for derivative rights for what the WSS-TC creates ?

Its not a future item its a commitment, talk to the companies that have
received licences.

hmmm, you seem to be pointing out issues but you have no problem ? We are
not asking for more stringent IPR disclosures in this venue we are trying
to understand and clarify the IPR statements made here
