I am writing in opposition to the proposed TLS Authorization standard.
RedPhone Security currently holds a patent related to this proposed
standard, and though they are willing to let anyone implement it, they
could still sue anyone who uses it. Until they choose to allow
royalty-free licenses for anyone whatsoever, I will continue to strongly
oppose any such standard. Thank you for your time.
