Subject: Re: [security-services] Question about IPR on the final SAML V2 specs
At this point, you can go to the liberty site to review the disclosures. A summary of the information there (you can read it yourself if you like) -- You should also note that I am not a lawyer and am not providing you with any kind of legal advice -- get your own lawyers to do the review): There are 5 diclosures. AOL's is on IDFF and ID-WSF and has issued and non-issued patents listed. Catavault's is on IDFF but only lists NON-Issued patents. Citigroup's is on ID-FF but only lists NON-issued patents. Fidelity's is on ID-FF and lists an issued patent. Sony's is on ID-WSF (NOT ID-FF). NON-Issued patents have no standing so Catavault's and Citigroup's statements are about stuff that was not yet real IP. Sony's is about ID-WSF, not IDFF, so it doesn't matter in this context. So that leaves us with AOL's and Fidelity's statements which both provide reciprocal royalty free licenses. I'm not sure which of the 5 participate in the SSTC (other than AOL, of course) and I don't know if any of them will feel the need to make statements in OASIS beyond what they have already done in Liberty.
