I actually wasn't able to find license text at any of those; Stephan's
message indicated that they did vary (since apparently some mention
reciprocity and some do not).  So it really would be helpful if the
data that an IETF disclosure would provide (patents + license) were
available in a simple form for the working group to review.

I certainly encourage *anyone* with data that helps the working group
make this decision to bring it forward.  Thanks to you and Nokia for
your willingness to do so.
