This is insane. I just tried google to search for syslog-ng and stunnel,
I got 89000 result pages, the contents most probably describing how to
combine syslog-ng and TLS, e.g. transfer syslog messages on a TLS
encrypted channel

I would call that prior art, although the details of the patent is to be
seen, but I am not happy. I might even choose not to interoperate with
the protocol specified here with syslog-ng.

Puzzled.
