Subject: questionable patent by RedPhone

Please do not approve the RedPhone patent;

We should not be required to have a license to use the protocol...a  
standard for TLS authorization.

IETF and IESG are relied upon to appropriately, openly evaluate new  
proposals, safe-guarding wide use, facilitating patent/restriction- 
free use so as to enable users and programmers.

I ask that IETF continue to oppose the patent until RedPhone provides  
a royalty-free license for all users.

Thank you,
