Re: RFC Publication - Patent-Free Declarations ... -- Market of Protocols -- Free Protocols Foundation

["Spencer Dawkins" <spencer at mcsr-labs.org>]

Hi, Mohan,

As much as I applaud the idea of "patent-free protocols", isn't the issue 
that we can't really know that a protocol is "patent-free"? We can only 
observe that "we haven't been notified of any applicable patent claims - 
yet".

For some value of the word "applicable"...

And maybe we could even say, "no one has told us they are being sued - yet", 
but I'm not sure we want to go there, either

Thanks,

Spencer
