If you have contacted all the original authors and they are all willing to grant the BCP78 rights to the IETF Trust, then this is fine, and you can ignore this comment. If not, you may need to add the pre-RFC5378 disclaimer. (See the Legal Provisions document at https://trustee.ietf.org/license-info for more information.) -- The document date (May 23, 1996) is 10200 days in the past. Is this intentional?

Internet-Drafts are working 25 documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), its areas, 26 and its working groups. Note that other groups may also distribute 27 working documents as Internet-Drafts. 29 Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months 30 and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any 31 time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference 32 material or to cite them other than as ``work in progress.'' 34 To learn the current status of any Internet-Draft, please check the 35 ``1id-abstracts.txt'' listing contained in the Internet-Drafts Shadow 36 Directories on ftp.is.co.za (Africa), nic.nordu.net (Europe), 37 munnari.oz.au (Pacific Rim), ds.internic.net (US East Coast), or 38 ftp.isi.edu (US West Coast). 40 Note: 42 This document is NOT a standard. It is an announcement to interested 43 parties of a conditional grant by the Hewlett-Packard Company (HP) of 44 certain rights to use autotopology network management technology 45 covered by specific HP patents in conjunction with the Internet 46 Engineering Task Force's (IETF's) Internet-standard network 47 management framework. 49 Purpose 51 This grant is made to help facilitate inclusion of certain patented 52 search address technology covering network device mapping in IETF 53 standards-track Management Information Base (MIB) modules. HP is 54 offering this search address technology to the IETF as a technique 55 for mapping network devices. It should be noted that the 56 confirmatory license mentioned is optional, since the grant of rights 57 is automatic. 59 A Grant of Rights to Hewlett-Packard US Patents 5,293,635 and 5,421,024 61 HP hereby covenants that it will not assert any claims in US Patents 62 5,293,635, 5,421,024, any continuations, divisions, or 63 continuations-in-part of either, or any non-US counterparts of any of 64 the foregoing against any party that makes, uses, sells, imports, or 65 offers for sale, an implementation of an IETF standards-track MIB 66 module that includes HP's contributed search address technology, or 67 any derivative of that contribution, provided that the MIB module is 68 employed to implement the Internet-standard network management 69 framework. Such grant of rights is limited in that it does not 70 include a right to incorporate such HP search address technology into 71 proprietary MIB modules. 73 This grant of rights will permanently terminate with respect to any 74 party (and to any subsidiary of a party) that asserts a patent it 75 owns or controls, either directly or indirectly, against HP or any of 76 its subsidiaries for implementation of, or operation of any system 77 utilizing, search address technology. The termination of rights will 78 occur as of the date the patent is asserted against HP. 80 A written confirmation of this grant, and/or a license under any 81 other HP patent under HP's then-current terms, conditions, and 82 royalty rates, can be obtained by sending a request to: 84 Patent Counsel 85 Hewlett-Packard Company 86 3000 Hanover Street 87 Palo Alto, CA 94304 88 USA 90 Security Considerations 92 Security issues are not discussed in this memo. 94 Authors' Addresses 96 Gary McAnally 97 Hewlett-Packard Company 98 8000 Foothills Blvd. 99 Roseville, CA 95747 100 USA 102 Douglas Gilbert 103 Hewlett-Packard Company 104 3000 Hanover Street 105 Palo Alto, CA 94304 106 USA 108 John Flick 109 Hewlett-Packard Company 110 8000 Foothills Blvd. M.S. 5556 111 Roseville, CA 95747-5556 112 USA 114 Phone: (916) 785-4018 115 EMail: johnf@hprnd.rose.hp.com
