Just so that others reading this don't get the wrong impression, the
free license for SRP is granted to all, *without* requiring a written
agreement with Stanford.  While people are welcome to contact Stanford
OTL to have their questions answered, they do *not* need to negotiate
with them in order to use SRP on a royalty-free basis.

In the interest of saving time in the future, I will have Stanford OTL
send the IETF secretariat an additional statement to this effect.
