Well ok :) but the original person never mentioned that JEP, they were
mentioning transfer negotiation protocols. But the point still remains that
the legal stuff needs to be sorted out before proceeding too far. I know how
developers can be just ignoring this kind of potential problem with an aim
just to get the functionality in, but we need to get the legal stuff in
before its too late to prempt any kind of serious problems, I really dont
want to see Jabber dragged down by the P2P problem.
