While I have problems with software patents in general, I realize that is not an issue that should be dealt with in an IETF WG. The Yahoo Domainkeys patent license is available at: http://antispam.yahoo.com/domainkeys-license-01 While I have not reviewed it closely, it is my understanding that it has no conflicts with either Free/Open Source Software, nor proprietary software. *This* was the issue that caused so much problems here. (Well, that and various unresolved technical problems with the PRA.) -wayne
