Martin Terre Blanche weighs in with a solid description of Sxip (is it pronounced 'skip'? Perhaps someone could inform me here) highlighting the advantages but also sounding a cautious note. "I'm not sure if charging licensing fees is the best way to go," he writes. "I also find it a little hard to understand where the open source ends and the commerce begins. The FAQs say 'the Sxip Network and protocol are community-driven and open to all' which sounds good, but 'community driven' could mean many things and 'open to all' does seem to mean 'open only to those who can pay'. And The FAQs also say 'the protocol can be easily extended to support identity initiatives between communities, organizations, and standards groups' (which is a good thing, but only if they pay membership fees?)."
