RE: [Sipping] Updated Version of MSCML

["Eric Burger" <[e-mail]>]

Your eyes are better than mine.  The IPR notice is supposed to be on -01, too.  That might be a newbie xml-rfc goof.

That said, did you read the IPR disclosure?  If you had, you would have seen very liberal licensing terms.

We have received a lot of feedback and interest in MSCML.  This feedback has been both in public on the list and in private, from service providers, vendors, partners, and competitors.  Given our desire to promote standards in this area, we have revised our IPR licensing terms.

Our attorneys are currently doing a review of all of the IETF IPR disclosures.  The review is not complete yet, but it looks like SnowShore's revised disclosure statement is the ONLY royalty free license that does not ask other people to give away their *entire* portfolio.

The updated disclosure has been given to the Secretariat and should be posted shortly.  Until then, you can find it at
