Folks,

Could you toss the board a bone here - i.e. reach consensus what *we* as
developers (all of us :-) feel are acceptable boundaries for working on
that code.
 

Yes.

Then the board will help define what the ASF deems acceptable, and work
with you to convey this to RSA and/or negotiate the right sort of legal
paperwork with RSA.
 

Okay.

Some thoughds:

-	Zero Royalty versus (perpetual) Royalty Free ? Or a perpatual
	license with Zero Royalty today.
 

Yes we want RSA to sign that they give a Royalty Free, perpetual license 
to use this patent inside of the propose OpenSAML project. 

-	Does it affect just ASF Developers or also the End-Users or people
	who download our code ?
 

End users should not be required to acquire a seperate license from RSA 
in order to use OpenSAML for any purpose including embedding it in 
security products.

-	Does it affect individual developers or can the ASF act as an
	effective umbrella for all its committers ?
 

Developers should not be required to acquire a license in order to work 
on the OpenSAML project. 

Thoughts?
