On March 1, 1999, a letter was received from Dr. Roger E. Stricker, 
Intellectual Property Vice President, Lucent Technologies pertaining
to patent licensing by Lucent. The relevant text is:

This is to affirm that Lucent Technologies Inc., in accordance with long-
established practice, will offer patent licenses for submissions made by it
which are adopted or recommended as a standard by your organization as 
follows:

If part(s) of a submission by Lucent is(are) included in a standard and 
Lucent has patents and/or pending application(s) that are essential to 
implementation of such included part(s) in said standard, Lucent is prepared
to grant - on the basis of receiprocity (grantback) - a license on such 
included part(s) on reasonable, non-discriminatory terms and conditions.
