[M4IF Discuss] MPEG-4 security application questions

[Craig Birkmaier]

I am not certain this is the correct list for the following question, 
but it does touch on the royalty issue.
I received the following request for information from a colleague 
looking at MPEG-4 for a security application.
If anyone has specific information about this request, please e-mail 
me privately and I will hook you up with a potential client...
