* Package name : libmail-dkim-perl Version : 0.18 Upstream Author : Jason Long <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://jason.long.name/ * License : "Same as Perl" Programming Lang: Perl Description : Create and verify DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) signatures DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) provides a method for validating an identity that is associated with a message, during the time it is transferred over the Internet. That identity then can be held accountable for the message. See http://www.dkim.org/ This is a Perl implementation created by Jason Long of Messiah College. It performs signing as well as signature verification. The library is largely based on Mail::DomainKeys. For those who don't know, DKIM is a merge of Yahoo!'s [1]DomainKeys and Cisco's [2]Internet Identified Mail. An IETF [3]working group has been chartered with the goal of creating standards-track specifications. Because of Yahoo!'s DomainKeys patents, they have made the following IPR disclosure: https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/ipr_detail_show.cgi?ipr_id=716 where they repeat the statement from [1] that they license the Necessary Patent Claims under either of the DomainKeys Patent License Agreement (v1.2) and the GPL v2.0. We need to determine exactly what it means to license patents under the GPL.
