This has to do with copyright (the text of the specification as 
submitted), not patent licensing.  Are you saying that this is what has 
not been secured in the case of the Liberty contributions?  If so, I 
don't think it's true:

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/security/ipr.php
"Our Liberty Alliance Agreements grant, with board approval, copyright 
licenses needed to prepare derivative works, among other activities, as 
required by the OASIS IPR Policy, section 3.1(1)."
