I will review this document shortly (I think I reviewed some version of 
it already).

That said, I'm curious about the possible implications of the following 
IPR, in particular "Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory License to All 
Implementers with Possible Royalty/Fee"..

Could this potentially mean that eventually some implementations might 
need to pay a Royalty/Fee to be fully compliant with the Neighbor 
Discovery spec?

I don't remember this kind of thing being discussed in 6man before, but 
other wgs I have participated in did consider this tihngs.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
