Just say no to intellectual "property" encumbrance

[Brian Strand <bstrand at switchmanagement.com>]

In the name of all things holy (freedom, open standards,
implementability, interoperability, fair use, etc., etc.), please keep
the Internet and its defining standards unencumbered and patent-free. 
Specifically, please do not approve any TLS authorization standard which
includes, say, patents by RedPhone Security (or anyone else), unless
these patents come with a royalty-free and non-discriminatory license
for all.

Thank you,
Brian Strand
