--- Comment #7 from Nick Kew <[email protected]> 2009-06-07 00:40:26 PST --- (In reply to comment #6) > Hello, > > with Apache 2.2.11 it is still not functioning. Microsoft released a protocol > specification here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc243950.aspx Quoting from that: "Patents. Microsoft has patents that may cover your implementations of the technologies described in the Open Specifications. Neither this notice nor Microsoft's delivery of the documentation grants any licenses under those or any other Microsoft patents." MS is not a standards body, and their having published something doesn't mean it's been peer-reviewed, or even implemented! I don't see any guarantee that if Apache implements exactly what's written, it really will interoperate with MS technology. Maybe there's a test suite, but who would look that far after reading the patent threat? -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
