as a general rule, you will find that the M$ license agreement for
Sender ID functions as a poison pill in the context of GPL, BSD,
and Apache style licensing. the restrictions on redistribution are
completely incompatible with traditional open source redistribution
policies.

i will be very curious to see what the IETF does or does not do
to resolve this issue.
