@jbuck, Free #swpats license traded for !GPL compliance I considered day counterclaim announced (@fontana can confirm). But details matter.

@evan, I don't want to judge prematurely. *Even if* !RedHat only enforced !GPL due to #swpats lawsuit, they can still do good here anyway.

bkuhn Red Hat , The GNU General Public License , evan

@evan, I'm don't agree it makes them see equiv. The real question is: would !RedHat enforce !GPL if not for #swpats suit & if not, why not?

bkuhn Android OS , glynmoody

@glynmoody, isn't it preferable for #Apple to hold #swpats on remote camera disabling? That way,less likely !Android phones can implement it

!OSCON: @fontana says he's "never seen a ©AA with a mutual #swpats provision" But IMO !FSF has this, through !GPL licensing of whole work.

@fabsh,I truly don't understand how Dan can be friends & work w/ someone like Dave who wants to harm !Linux w/ #swpats for his own avarice.

bkuhn GNU/Linux , The GNU General Public License , Fabian Scherschel

@fabsh, As for !Linux, #Google may now have a !GPLv2 §7 problem, if the judgment doesn't give them an RF license to the #swpats in question.

#swpats: ur1.ca/3x32l ur1.ca/3x33p I don't mind proprietary sw ppl getting trolled,but is !disturbing when for legitimate !GPL !Linux use.
