Apache Rejects Sender ID

Posted by michael on Thursday September 2, 2004 @04:43AM from the poison-pill dept.

hexene writes "In an open letter to the IETF MARID Working Group, the Apache Software Foundation has rejected the patent-encumbered Sender ID specification. This means no Sender ID support for SpamAssassin, Apache JAMES, etc. They state that the current license is generally incompatible with open source, and contrary to the practice of open Internet standards."

Well.. I don't consider doing that anywhere close to the same thing as spam. I'm 1 person away from getting a free iPod, and you choose to read slashdot. Reading slashdot just kinda implies all the trolls, flamebait, and spam that goes along with it. Besides, someone will be along to mod me down shortly I'm sure.
