Then the compatibility of this license with implementation of SenderID in
Free Software cannot be determined before this license is actually
published.

Which makes it a show-stopper, as IETF cannot reasonably define as a
standard any protocol for which licensing terms are currently unknown.

So IMHO any IETF decision regarding SenderID has to be postponed as long
as the license is unknown.
