Does the reason Theora is relatively safe from patent infringement lawsuit have more to do with it actually not being encumbered, or is it because its use is decentralized? For example, FreeType is not patent-free, nor is Linux, yet they succeed because on the one hand, they are open source, and those who maintain them do not guarantee anything regarding patents,...

Hi David, Sorry for the delay getting back to you, been a bit buried: On Oct 19, 2015, at 10:12 AM, David Chisnall <David.Chisnall at cl.cam.ac.uk> wrote: >> The TL;DR version of this is that I think we should discuss relicensing all of LLVM under the Apache 2.0 license and add a runtime exception clause.

...igned to" +verizon "telephone" IP. One patent related to voicemail Results 1 - 1 of 1 from uspto.gov for +"assigned to" +verizon voicemail My thoughts, the voicemail one is broad, and could be circumvented easily. If I were a juror, I would laugh but an infringment is an infringement is an infringement. I would make Vonage stop using the technology. The VoIP patent however is a bit more detailed, and although it can be construed as broad, that too would make me side with Verizon, but not to the degree of shutting down Vonage. On the flip side of things, Vonage is no stranger...

Just thought I'd put my two cents in about the trademark infringement issue. I ran the true SSH for about a month some time back. When I learned of OpenSSH, I dropped the official product and built OpenSSH. Quite frankly, OpenSSH is a superior package. It is cleaner, commercially unencumbered, and with its affiliation to the OpenBSD team, I feel more secure about t...

...We are in the business of developing/productizing Multimedia codecs for embedded systems. Recently, Vorbis has gained good popularity. We are also developing it. But we face few problems related to patents. Vorbis claims to be patent free. Is there any particular search made for possible patent infringements and corresponding report published? We need to convince our customers sometime about this issue. I have started with patents listed on the website of "www.mp3licensing.com". Some of them are very generic and it appears as if Vorbis code might be infringing upon few of them. They are (w...

...with respect to that claim." So I took a look at the 4 primary claims that apply to DECODING s3tc textures. All other claims either rely on these claims or involve encoding, which Mesa 3D / Xorg drivers should not need to do. Finding a workaround for these primary claims is necessary to avoid infringement for an s3tc decoder. I'll break these into seperate elements because a workaround (non-infringement) for ANY element is a workaround for the ENTIRE claim itself. The elements are seperated by semicolons and I've added line-breaks to make them clearer). To avoid confusion I've removed t...

...isible. In the United States, this would invalidate the trademark because the US requires that a trademark holder exercise due dilligence in protecting the mark -- and that due dilligence has always been intrepretted as notifying infringers immediately of the infringment and making an claim if the infringement is not stopped. Any lapse in exercising the rights is interpretted, under US Law, as an abandonment of the mark. Please find attached the response from SSH that I received. If the matter should come to court, it should be sufficient evidence that SSH is no longer under trademark protection: Rece...

Hello ! I'm very interested in btrfs development and I have general questions about it. Please accept my apologizes if they are dumb as I'm new to this area, and I just want to learn.. 1. Like the btrfs name implies (b-trees fs..) I guess that it works basically like WAFL (and ZFS), is that right ? 2. Are there any big differences between btrfs-wafl-zfs or only small ones ? 3. NetApp

...e patch is against asterisk to make it interoperate with the g729 libarary and this may or may not be non-infringing. However, the distribution of the g729 libraries themselves are almost certainly infringing. There is also the possibility that the patch to asterisk may be ruled a contribuatory infringement. -- snip -- The patch is not against Asterisk - it is against Intel's sample code. No parts of Asterisk are modified in order to run this code. Nor am I requesting that Asterisk be modified in any way to support this. The code produced by running the build script is a shared library th...

hey, i am a big unicorn fan -- i have been running it in production since late 2010, and it is happily handling (literally) billions of backend requests for a popular facebook game. i also <3 unicorns in general ..... so i decided to make an awesome t- shirt, sporting the "Angry Unicorn" that you may remember from github error pages. i hope some of you might like it as well:

Dear all, This is a little bit off-topic, but I was wondering if anyone has any informed opinion on whether data (ie. a dataset) is copyrightable? Hadley

I too would like to know the status of the opus IP holders. From what I've seen on the CELT and opus lists, it seems that the CELT part of opus is covered by patents from Xiph and Broadcom, and the SILK part of opus is covered by the rest. All of the IP holders except Qualcomm and Huawei have released their patents to the public as far as opus is concerned, and the general consensus from

...ter of public record and it is open to anyone to review the details of SSH Corp's trademark portfolio. Under US law, a trademark registration entitles the owner to exclusive use of the trademark as it is registered, in relation to the goods and/or services for which it is registered. Trademark infringement occurs when another person uses the same, or a substantially identical mark, for the same or related goods or services, in a manner which is likely to cause consumer confusion. Consequently, use of the uppercase word "SSH" or a name containing the "ssh" or "SSH" mark...

Sprint Nextel is sueing vonage, voiceglo and theglobe.com for infringing on VoIP patents. Sprint Nextel claims to have about 100 patents on VoIP technologies. Does anyone know which ones this article is talking about, and if so does asterisk have any of those features? The reason I am asking is that the article is vague, Vonage uses a fairly standard codec set, I dont know about the others.
