You mean wyona.org?

We'll have to see, but we've been getting lots of interest in this package, and heard about some other implementations as well; and of course there are many commercial implementations already from the companies that contributed to writing the spec. > Blockers? > ----------- > > "Are there IPR-related concerns with SAML (patents held by RSA but > offered royalty free)?" > > Can you please elaborate more on this? You never know, but the fact that it is now a full year after they first brought up this claim, and they still haven't had enough interest to come up with procedures for getting licenses (and why would they, since they're free), would lead one to believe that they aren't going to pursue enforcing any rights here very aggressively.
