[OLSR-users] Pro-Active Autoconfiguration?

Hi all,

Does anyone know if work is still continuing on the Pro-Active
Autoconfiguration (PAA) plugin for OLSR?  I'd love to see something like
this - it would free OLSR from the administrative burden of static IP
addressing.  It could potentially allow OLSR networks to grow like wildfire,
as no OLSR-routing node would need to wait to be assigned an IP address
before joining the network.

I read about it here:
http://www.olsr.org/docs/report_html/node176.html
There is a mention that parts of the protocol may be patented.  If this
happens will this mean that this protocol can't be distributed freely?

Cheers,

Dan
