[llvm-dev] Patent issue about LLVM and JavaScript
Hi,I'm considering to develop a LLVM frontend for someECMAScript like language. But I noticed that Apple hasa patent about it (see www.google.com/patents/US8752016).I'm not very familiar about patent stuffs, so I'm seekinghelp about: Can I release my work for JITing JavaScriptto LLVM IR freely with an open source license, and evenuse within commercial projects? Thanks. Second DatkeSent from Outlook -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
