Yes. Although Microsoft has refused to disclose what they have
actually applied for patents on, their license only applies to specific
parts of Sender-ID, which seems to imply that they did not apply for
patents on SPF itself. In any case, it is certainly seems safe to
continue using SPF for now.

More like "Who needs patent problems?"
The position appears to be 100% on patents and licencing, not on the
technology or the concept.
Next question: presumably SPF, though now a subset of Sender-Id, is
still unencumbered, and thus usable in SA 3.0?
