The patent in question is claimed by RedPhone Security.  RedPhone has
given a license to anyone who implements the protocol, but they still
threaten to sue anyone that uses it.
Free and open standards are critical to the future of the Internet, and to
communications in general.
Please don't allow this back-door travesty.
