Re: Use of xmlDSIG

[Scott Hinkelman <srh@us.ibm.com>]

SID, POCers,
In the recent POC call, Sid Askary formally asked IBM for donation of the
IBM Alphaworks XMLDSig code. IBM will not be taking any explicit action
concerning this request. POC member companies, that are utilizing Java, are
free to use the current Alphaworks license. If a POC company's free 90 day
license that is being used for intentions of ebXML POC expires up to 90
days past ebXML exit, and would like to request a re-issue for purposes of
continued ebXML POC demo's, those companies should contact us (IBM)
individually, as I'm sure we will accommodate a re-issue for what we see as
a reasonable time period.

Our intentions do contain an option to open source this toolkit into a
standards group that works with open source code when in line with our
business plans. If any company would like to discuss this further
concerning support of this, please feel free to contact myself anytime.

Thanks.

Subject:  Use of xmlDSIG



Hi,
I am writing to officially ask for the donation of the XMLDSIG code to the
ebXML POC effort by IBM.  If we want to demo the security aspects, we need
to be able to continue past the May deadline.  It appears that the 90 day
usage is not sufficient as the demos will continue in other venues past the
May time frame.

Thank,
Sid.
