    The Liberty Alliance is a group of companies helping to define the specification. Sun propsed Project Liberty as an alternative to Passport. Sun have implemented the specification in their Sun ONE range of products. You will probably see Novell implement the specification within eDirectory as they are members of the alliance as well. As for selling the idea to anyone, it is not a matter of selling it, if you look at the specs it sells itself. Devolved identity management, no single company holding identity information, like Microsoft does with Passport.
