Erm, from the Wu man himself (Inventor of SRP): In past years, implementors were concerned about strong password protocols because most of them had patent restrictions, but because SRP has a well-established free license, those concerns have fallen by the wayside and SRP can move on to the next phase. <http://www.clipperz.com/users/marco/blog/2007/01/04/interview_with_tom_wu_inventor_of_the_srp_protocol>
So it seems as though it has a patent, but the license if a free-for-all (doesn't the W3C do something like that?), or am i missing something? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jonathan Dickinson Sent: 04 April 2008 01:30 PM To: Jabber/XMPP software development list Subject: Re: [jdev] SRP That sucks...
