provides the derivative rights.

It's not whether or not I trust the companies, nor whether or not they
can be forced to live up to the committment. It is, however, a fact
that the statement is NOT a grant. It is a committment for a future action.

the WSS-TC IPR statement. My problems are with those that found that
statement perfectly acceptable in another venue now asking for much more
stringent IPR disclosures in this venue.
