Back in the days of Draft Standard, one criterion (RFC 2026 section 4.1.2) was this: If patented or otherwise controlled technology is required for implementation, the separate implementations must also have resulted from separate exercise of the licensing process. After extensive discussion, I think that it was concluded that "I have taken no license, I don't believe I have to, and I haven't been challenged on it so far" constituded an exercise of the licensing process for purposes of counting implementations. _______________________________________________ video-codec mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/video-codec
