I did a little re-arranging so that all the text that references BCP 79 is now in one paragraph, in charter-ietf-netvc-00-02. None of the meaning changed though:
"The working group shall heed the preference stated in BCP 79: "In general, IETF working groups prefer technologies with no known IPR claims or, for technologies with claims against them, an offer of royalty-free licensing." In keeping with this BCP, the WG will prefer algorithms or tools where there are verifiable reasons to believe they are available on an RF basis. In developing the codec specification, the WG may consider information concerning old prior art or the results of research indicating royalty-free availability of particular techniques. Note that the preference stated in BCP 79 cannot guarantee that the working group will produce an IPR unencumbered codec.” Alissa On Apr 23, 2015, at 7:31 AM, Benoit Claise <[email protected]> wrote: > Benoit Claise has entered the following ballot position for > charter-ietf-netvc-00-01: No Objection > > When responding, please keep the subject line intact and reply to all > email addresses included in the To and CC lines.
