> This was not a request for more SKIP information to be posted. Apologies for the misunderstanding; as the request made its way to me, I understood it to mean that you had never seen the applicability statement that Ashar had written (at your request), and that we should provide this. Since Ashar had recently added to his statement, it seemed like a good time to send it out. > While I do understand Sun's investment in SKIP, please be cautious in the > posting of material that might be misconstrued as marketing material. No one that I'm aware of has misconstrued the new applicability statement as marketing material. It has, after all, nothing to do with our current product offerings, but is solely about the SKIP protocol itself. It should apply to any implementation of SKIP, whether developed by Sun or by any of our competitors. > I did call Glenn Scott (of Sun) and strongly encouraged the posting of a > statement from Sun on the licensing and applicability of the "new" Sun > patent that makes broad claims on IPsec related technology. I believe that an official statement regarding this new patent is working its way through legal here and should be forthcoming.
