[iot-wg] LwM2M specification essential patents

[Ian Craggs <icraggs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

the LwM2M specification has some essential patents associated with it, 
two of which are documented on this page: 
http://openmobilealliance.org/membership/ipr-declarations-14/.

I have been wondering how this affects the projects that implement this 
specification (at least Leshan and Wakaama).  Is it part of the project 
creation process to ensure that any specifications can be (legally) 
implemented?  Are there any limitations on the implementation of this 
specification that we know of?

Thanks.
