Re: [Geopriv] IPR on geopriv-arch

<hat type="individual"/>

I am comfortable with this document moving forward. I have looked at
the Enterasys patents, and it looks to me like they relate to specific
applications (location-based access control and routing), so that they
don't intrude on a general location architecture. With regard to the
Qualcomm disclosure, their reluctance to provide information makes me
a little nervous, but it still seems like this document is abstract
enough that it would be useful in spite of IPR claims on some specific
realizations.
