up-to-date?
Chris,
Sorry. I was not aware of this protocol. I will try to contact the vendors
directly.
Can you please confirm if we are still using the old policy (http://www.oasis-open.org/who/ipr/intellectual_property_2000-1-13.php)?
)or has WSS TC transitioned to the new policy).
thanks,
dims

I don't think these questions are really appropriate for the TC mailing
list. The members have made statements in compliance with OASIS policy
and those are listed on the IP page. If you have specific questions
about specific vendors you should contact those vendors directly.

Hi all,
Can everyone please confirm that the IPR statements are up-to-date on
the OASIS WSS TC IPR page?
(http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/wss/ipr.php
<http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/wss/ipr.php>
)
Here's a list of problems that I see.
- In April 2003, Hemma from Verisign and Kelvin from IBM, hinted that
there are licenses available
(http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/wss/200304/msg00056.html
<http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/wss/200304/msg00056.html>
). Yet,
there is no mention of these on the IPR page.
- Microsoft's last update to the IPR page is dated "January 2003",
mentions "pending patents" and that "Microsoft will update this
statement if and when such pending patent application(s) issue". Has
there been any change in the situation?
- Am specifically interested in what one would have to do specifically
for implementing the Interop scenarios for various profiles. Only
ContentGuard's statement has this information.
- Can folks please be specific about which patents are in question in
any future IPR statements?
Stating the obvious, WS-Security is a major cornerstone for building the
web services stack. I hope you agree that open source implementations
can/will help increase adoption. At Apache, we are working on Apache
WSS4J (no releases yet, may release a milestone/beta soon and there are
companies willing to donate/share their code using the Apache incubation
process). We are getting some traction for using WSS4J with Apache Axis
and we'd like to know what we have to do to conform to everyone's
expectations moving forward.
Thanks,
dims
PS: we'd like to avoid the Sender-ID situation
