Tobias: So much for single set of protocol

Maybe reality kicking in

right..going with Olm would give us a single protocol

I meant this part: “Signal Protocol includes multiparty, multidevice, media, and authentication features built on top of the core elements. These features are more likely to change over time, and to differ between deployments.”

ah..that's what you meant

also, i don't know if documentation equals freedom to implement and use it free of charge, maybe they have patents or whatnot

then again IETF's Opus does also have patent related complications https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12622325

Tobias: It specifically says that it's to make it easier for other people to reuse, and the original description of the crypto was specifically public-domained, so presumably they think it will be okay to reuse at least?

tobias: I am missing matt jordans take on that in HN? http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-dev/2013-May/060419.html

fippo, wonder if looks better in non-US, regarding patents

SamWhited, yeah...they say so…

fippo

fippo, i've added a link to that on that HN discussion, maybe someone will find it useful

thanks
