I removed the reference to Microsoft in the patents section. As someone who was involved in the negotiations over the patent it is not accurate to describe the position in the terms used and certainly not a NPOV. The specific issue the lawyers could not agree on involved a highly complex legal argument over whether a party making use of a sublicense term could be bound by it to provide a reciprocal license. This is a question that nobody really knows the answer to and is likely to ultimately require legislation to clarify the situation.
This user recently made two edits, once concerning the patent status of DomainKeys, and the other concerning a Wikilink. The wikilink change was an egregrious error, and I have reverted that. However, having this page as the only two pages this user has ever edited, it also casts serious doubt on this authors credibilty for the patent status. I will do some research and see if it's been resolved, but for now, both edits have been reverted. Sorry! — Ambush Commander( Talk) 18:53, August 12, 2005 (UTC)
Mark Delany has suggested in private mail that all contributors should be credited, not just some of the more well-known ones. I agree that there is a fairness and NPOV point here. If there's another way to note that DK was the result of an industry wide consortium, I'm happy to hear it. RussNelson 05:02, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Let me point out again that I want to make the point that DK is already the result of industry-wide contributions. Credit? I don't care about credit. I just don't want people to think that DK was created solely by Yahoo and is thus an ignorable sole-vendor "standard". Lots of people contributed to it; there are at least four DK implementations that I know of. Any suggestions on how to make that point? Any reason why that point shouldn't be made in the introductory section? RussNelson 22:13, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
After reading [2] I came to Wikipedia to compare/contrast DK to DKIM. I find just one page and no clear explanation. Puzzling... -- 203.167.249.253 04:49, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Info on differences here: differences between DomainKeys (DK) and DKIM. RussNelson 06:46, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
The article is almost exclusively about DKIM. We should move this article to DKIM and then make Domain Keys and Identified Internet Mail pointers to the DKIM article. If the term Domain Keys is used in IETF circles at this point it refers to the use of the DKIM approach applied to other protocols -- Gorgonzilla 19:54, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
"if the message is significantly modified en route ... then the signature may no longer be valid" This makes it sound like a little modification is harmless as long as it is not "significant." Can someone make this sentence more clear? Diletante 01:56, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
i previously removed 'of qmail', since it implies authorship, a la the very next person listed, 'eric allman of sendmail'. Russ himself has added it back. Hi russ, we've communicated in email a handful of times over the years; i'm listed as an informal 'linter' of the qmail.org page. but i think it's inappropriate to say "russ nelson of qmail". as your edit summary said, you're webmaster of qmail.org. indeed. so, 'russ nelson of qmail.org' would be accurate. i think the only person who could legitimately say "of qmail" is "djb".

An from 2006-01-12 adds some unreferenced statements about the standard being under a dual license scheme, including GPL 2.0. It does not make it clear whether it is talking about a patent license or a copyright license, and suggests that the "traditional corporate oriented" license is the one friendly to free software implementations, and the GPL 2.0 is not. This seems to have gone unchallenged for 2 years, but can it be confirmed or clarified? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.5.221.158 ( talk) 19:32, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
In the article it is stated that "DomainKey awareness" is programmed into some e-mail software. Can I have a reference? (is there a client software that implements some kind of domainkey awareness?) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.223.29.87 ( talk) 16:11, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Who owns the company who made this system, even better, what about the history? 98.226.32.129 ( talk) 00:50, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
