I guess he means this:
http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/cisco-ipr-draft-ietf-tcpm-tcpsecure.txt
(statement by Robert Barr from Cisco about the license)
The draft itself is here:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tcpm-tcpsecure-00.txt
Though, the page cannot be found now anymore ...???
I guess the ietf moved the page somewhere else, i can't find it now.
Bye,
