I am against this standard because of its patent encumbrances and non-free licencing terms. The working group did not get any clear answers on what particular patents this draft may infringe, but a patent holder (Certicom) did assert an IPR disclosure (1004) listing many patents. We have no alternative but to accept the Certicom disclosure statements as meaning that the TLS Extractor draft is patent-encumbered without a universal, free defensive license. The statement by https://datatrackerietf.org/ipr/1004/ referring to http://www.certicom.com/images/pdfs/certicom%20-ipr-contribution-to-ietfsept08.pdf which states: "Certicom will, upon request, provide a nonexclusive, royalty free patent license, to manufacturers to permit end users (including both client and server sides), to use the patents in schedule A when implementing any of these protocols, including those requiring third party certificates provided the certificate is obtained from a licensed Certificate Authority (CA). This license does not cover the issuing of certificates by a Certification Authority (CA)." That is not a free license, since Certicom must respond to the "request" before any license is granted. After the IETF finally approves the necessary standards, Certicom is free to stop approving the requests. I ask others who support free software to join me in opposing this document by sending a message stating opposition to the IETF@IETF.ORG mailing list. IETF participation is open to the public, and anyone may voice their view on IETF standards. It is also substantive to oppose a document because of its patent status, and in fact, any topic that is considered during or related to the IETF process is substantive. --Dean On Mon, 20 Jul 2009, The IESG wrote: > The IESG has received a request from the Transport Layer Security WG > (tls) to consider the following document: > > - 'Keying Material Exporters for Transport Layer Security (TLS) ' > <draft-ietf-tls-extractor-06.txt> as a Proposed Standard > > The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits > final comments on this action.
