Isn't that a no no?

The board is discussing this.

What scares the crap out of me is the weasel words. "intent to offer royalty free...".

As a rule, lawyers are very careful in what they say and do not say. I can only presume that the word "intent" was carefully chosen.

Clarify this for me. I might contribute to this OpenSAML, which I'm free to do as a member of Apache who would hence have license. However if I take this back to my company (outside of Apache) I must then seek another license which by intent (though not by agreement) would again be Royalty free?

Below is what seems the last mail on this subject on this list. Reading that, I tend to think that the incubator, at this point, is capable of taking a formal position on this matter, and we
should probably ask the board.

RSA posted a new statement on the SSTC web site and confirmed the intent to offer royalty free

licenses to anyone building a

toolkit, and stating the builder's obligation to inform users that they also must obtain a

license, so that's the situation.

The license itself is still not available, and I would be surprised if it showed up all that

soon, frankly.
