This is to advise the IETF that Microsoft believes it may have patent
rights (patent(s) and/or pending application(s)) that relate to the
technologies discussed in the above-referenced internet-drafts.
Microsoft is willing to negotiate licenses with interested parties to
such patent rights as follows:

If Microsoft patent rights are essential to implement the IETF PEAP
standard, Microsoft is prepared to grant a non-sublicenseable license to
the necessary claims of Microsoft patent rights, to the extent that such
claims are required to implement the IETF PEAP standard, on a
royalty-free basis with other reasonable and non-discriminatory terms
and conditions, provided a reciprocal license is granted to Microsoft
for any patent claims necessary to implement the IETF PEAP standard.
