Aloha!

I took a brief look at RFC 6114 which provides informational description
of the CLEFIA cipher. In the RFC I don't see any reference to licensing
of IP claims on the cipher.

draft-katagi-tls-clefia-02 which presents a way of adding CLEFIA to TLS
does not contain any information about licensing nor claimed rights.

There is however a license for CLEFIA, a license that seems to combine
an open BSD license with a quite strict license which makes it
impossible for anyone but Sony to develop support for CLEFIA:

(Nota bene: IANAL)

The RFC is a done deal, but wouldn't it be appropriate to add a section
in the draft about licensing and IP rights. And to point to the License
agreement?


Also, the link to the technical related information for CLEFIA in
section 7 of the draft seems to be broken.
