This is normally lawyer work. I recommend the companies & individuals invested in OpenID immediately turn this exercise over to your legal counsel to ensure your interests--and the interests of the community--are protected appropriately.
<br><br>Does the new OpenID organization have legal counsel retained (I don't mean volunteers, but actually hired)? If not, that would be my second recommendation.<br><br>--Brett<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 12/6/06,

Hey guys,<br>Been working with Gabe, and others, on starting to draft an IPR Policy<br>for OpenID specifications. We'd appreciate feedback in terms of if what<br>is written captures the correct intent of the community? We realize the
<br>language isn't technically as tight as it needs to be, though first want<br>to make sure it is saying the right thing. It is largely based on the<br>IPR Policy for Microformats.<br><br><a href="http://openid.net/wiki/index.php/IPR_Policy">
