In reviewing the IPR declarations for WS-Security
(http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/wss/ipr.php), it seems that all
of the individual IPR notices contain the word "believes". I assume
these declarations (from ContentGuard, Microsoft, and RSA) were
acceptable under OASIS IPR Policy. If so, I don't see the problem with
the text quoted below.

There was a action item that was closed today AI #280. The wording

can we please make a clear IPR statement as IPR
statement (I take this as an IPR statement) is worded in such a way as
to suggest that doing anything "useful" with the SAML profile and
encrypted channels may require licensing RSA patents.
I would like to either reopen AI #280 or create a
new AI to cover these concerns.

[wss] RSA license and the upcoming SAML
Interop
After some careful review today, we believe that
it will not be necessary for implementers engaged in supporting the
upcoming interop scenarios to
sign the RF license agreement with RSA,
provided that Scenario #3 does not make use of an encrypted channel
between the Requestor and Responder.
