Coming back to the issue at hand, I see no need for misconceptions about IPR to detract work on draft-koch-dnsop-resolver-priming.
Thierry, when people much smarter and more experienced than you have to defend themselves from you by doing work in a way that excludes you from participating, there are two ways to interpret this. One is that they are doing something inappropriate. The other is that you have done something inappropriate.
You seem bound and determined to consider only the first of these two possibilities.
However, what you are doing, you are doing to people who *invented* the Internet as we know it today. People who did that and gave their work to the public, because they knew that for their inventions to be useful, they had to be freely available. People without whose work you would not even be able to exchange email with a wide group of people all over the world. And now, we are hearing that because of your efforts, open participation in the working group is broken - in order to continue to make their work freely available, it seems that they have to exclude you, because you believe that it's okay to patent whatever you do to participate in the working group, and you want to make a living by so doing.
So it could be that it is you who are right, and they who are wrong. But please, consider the other possibility just a bit.
It is possible for Thierry to be in the wrong. Really, it is. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
