Here is one example, or maybe you thinking more along the lines of Kerberos?
And that does not even get into patent issues.
Quoting:
"17. Not content with Microsoft's corruption of the Kerberos standard, Microsoft has filed for a patent on its proprietary version. Consequently, not only will Microsoft products fail to interoperate with non-Microsoft products (because of the modification), but Microsoft will not allow anyone else to use its version unless they purchase a license from Microsoft."
I think you can try to license Microsoft's Kerberos patents from this page.
I don't think there is any silver lining in this cloud.
