[RSP] If
the companies in Liberty that posted notice of
claims to Liberty
are also members of SSTC and they believe those claims apply to SAML 2.0, it is
their responsibility to make an appropriate declaration to the OASIS Executive
Director. The chairs made a request to all list members to make such
declarations known. See:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/200412/msg00000.html
If and
when such declarations are made, they will be posted to the SSTC IPR page.
As
Conor pointed out in:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/200411/msg00129.html
only
AOL and Fidelity had issued patents that applied to ID-FF. It is up to those
companies to decide whether those claims apply to SAML 2.0 and to provide
notice to the OASIS Executive Director regarding those claims and any necessary
licensing terms. The chairs of the TC have been and will continue to work
with the OASIS Executive Director to facilitate the process of obtaining those
notices.
