I believe there is also an
outstanding question about the ownership of the MQTT logo and especially
the svg file. Has that been resolved and is the mqtt logo available for
use?

Hi Mike,

I'm working on the licensing of the MQTT-S spec with our friendly IBM lawyer.
 In fact, he owes me a response just now, so I'll prod him for one.

Hmmm. That is unfortunate.
Did someone lose the source code to the PDF file for the MQTT-S spec? (sort
of joking)
 
Is Paho implementing MQTT-S?
Because if it is, this situation does require some immediate attention.

Hi Mike,
 
the intention is for MQTT-S to
be available under exactly the same terms as MQTT. The fact the document
doesn't contain the appropriate text is, as you say, an oversight.
 
This gets raised with some regularity,
but it hasn't been resolved yet.

Someone was asking about the MQTT-S
specification, and I noticed that its licensing seems to be unclear.
 
[1] says “Like
MQTT, the detailed specification of MQTT-S is open and available at mqtt.org.
”
 
But the spec document[2] on mqtt.org
simply says “© Copyright IBM Corporation 2008, 2011. All rights reserved.”
 I’ve looked through that document as carefully as I can, and I do
not see any license grant similar to what is in the MQTT spec[3].
 
Can anyone clarify for me what
the status is on the ability on anyone other than IBM to implement MQTT-S?
Is this some oversight that can be easily fixed?
 
Thanks.
