Synergy
---------
I cannot fail to remember that we have another possible candidate in
line (Wyona) that uses saml already and has his implementation in Java.
I have already asked them about spinning off some of their code to other
projects in Apache, and they were very positive about it. This is
another positive thing.
You mean wyona.org? I don't see anything SAMLish in their distribution
I think it would help a lot if we could focus on one "Authentication/Authorization Framework",
especially since there seem to be so many within Apache already. At least we (wyona.org) don't
want to start another one.

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. As Scott said, there are so
many nasty patent situations out there, this one seems quite friendly.
