A correction on the inventors of the alleged Palladium patent

Are you a good contact person for the information on the Microsoft
DRM patent (6,330,670) on cryptome.org?
The pages linked from http://cryptome.org/ms-drm-os.htm say that
the authors of this patent (England, DeTreville, and Lampson) were
identified by Newsweek as Palladium programmers.
I can reliably state that I (DeTreville) am not a Palladium programmer,
and neither is Butler Lampson.
I believe that the Newsweek article was referring to a different patent.
I'm sure that the Palladium participants jointly hold a significant number
of important patents in the field of computer security.
Cheers,
John

We would appreciate information on the alternative Palladium
patent John DeTreville is referring to, or patents if the program
is based on several.
