First, have you looked at the updated IPR disclosure?
Yes. The Cisco lawyer who deals with IPR says that he is confused by it. He suggests that I ask for a clarification of what is "based on royalty-free with other reasonable non-discriminations terms and conditions". There are other spelling and grammar problems as well. I figure that if my lawyer is confused by it, I can't ask the WG to go along with it. David says that Huawei wants the license to be easy and painless. I'll attempt to get consensus on that.
Right now, some people who have been implementing are a bit hurt thinking that Huawei is claiming everything. I figure that there is a claim, or some claims, in the document and that Huawei is not attempting to cover the entire concept of syslog/tls. However, that is not clear from the disclosure so I'm getting some problems in the WG. If there are specific claims and it comes to light then I may be able to get some more acceptance of the terms.
Any advice would be appreciated.
You can work on udp and -protocol, and you can even update your milestones to reflect that. You can get as far as sending me a publication request for these documents. However I will not take the documents to the IESG without a security solution. So, I'll wait until it seems clear that there will be WG consensus to actually publish the TLS draft (or something else of your choosing) before I bring -protocol to the IESG.
OK. Thanks, Chris _______________________________________________ Syslog mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/syslog
