Monday May 21, 2007 At the Internet Identity Workshop last week in Mountain View, CA, Sun issued a "non-assertion covenant," which promises that Sun will not enforce patents against developers of OpenID technology.
This means that Sun will not impose licensing terms, conditions, or fees for the use of any patents held by Sun related to OpenID V1.1 or OpenID Simple Registration V1.0. The only condition is that developers refrain from asserting their own (or others') patents against any other OpenID implementation developer.
For a copy of the covenant and to see an FAQ, please go to the OpenID resources page.
