[OAUTH-WG] Fw: IPR Disclosure: - What to Do with JWT ?

[Oleg Gryb <[e-mail]>]

Dear OAuth WG and Chairs,

Can somebody please comment the Certicom's disclosure below? If the purpose of this disclosure is to inform us that JWT can be potentially a subject of royalties and other possible legal actions, the value of adopting JWT in the scope of OAuth 2.0 IETF standard would definitely diminish and if this is the case shouldn't we consider replacing it with something similar, but different, which would not be a subject of the future possible litigation?    

I'm not a lawyer and might not understand the statement below correctly, so please let me know if/where I'm wrong. Please keep in mind also that the popularity of JWT is growing fast along with the implementations, so we need to do something quickly.

Thanks,
Oleg.
