About CMLA

Content Management License Administrator (CMLA), LLC is the entity formed to provide commercial licenses for the CMLA Technology Specification which forms a trust model for the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) Digital Rights Management (DRM) version 2.0 (and, as updated) interoperability specification.

CMLA also extends this trust model to enable content and service protection for mobile broadcast by adding support of the IP Datacast over DVB-H: Service Purchase and Protection (SPP) A100 Specification Annex B (18Crypt) and the OMA Bcast DRM Profile.

CMLA OMA DRM Version 2.1 also provides an “Approved DRM’ to the Digital Entertainment “Content Ecosystem (“DECE”) LLC (and also known as “UltraViolet”) system for the delivery of media and entertainment content to consumers. See www.uvvu.com for information on UltraViolet.

2. CMLA provides commercial licenses to companies wishing to use the CMLA trust model and implement the CMLA Technical Specification.
