Definately not.  I'm not pushing in any way for those concerns
to be dicussed in any detail at the IGF.  That was just an
explanation _why_ I'm not going to support "user centric identity"
as a potential IGF topic unless there's someone who is committed
to implemeting whatever rough consensus emerges from the IGF
discussions, in software that is licensed in an explicitly
DRM-incompatible manner.

Actually I'm now convinced that my initial suggestion of using
the GPLv3 license isn't the optimal choice.  I now think that it
would be better to use an MIT X11 like license with an additional
clause (that could be taken from the GPLv3 draft) which
explicitly forbids use in DRM systems.

Greetings,
Norbert.
