...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, it is up to each individual user to deal with those issues; and on the other hand, the very fact that it's not one but many infringers makes it far more difficult for a patent troll to extract anything. People use Linux even though Microsoft (for example) is known to have patents that cover parts of it; and people could probably use the patented algorithms in FreeType without being worried about a suit. I for one doubt that Theor...

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.

I've dug down as far as I could on www.uspto.gov for anything remotely close to what is going on with Verizon and all searches end with only two possibilities in regards to what is going on. So unless the patent was issued to someone else and Verizon bought it, these are the only two possible patents this case could be based on... US 7,142,646 B2 Voice mail integration with instant

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 the code quality. When

Hi, 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

Hi radeonhd, nouveau, mesa3d developers, Firstly, thank you all very much for all the important work you do. I've been working as a part-time developer on the "Spring RTS" project (open-source game engine) which runs on linux (and other os). Some time ago I tried the engine on the open-source ATI radeonhd driver, which I understand to be partly based on mesa 3d, and all textures

...earlier becuase it's only recently that OpenSSH has become more visible. 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 suffi...

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

-- snip -- Had the patch been against the actual g729 libraries the case would have been clear. Now, the 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

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

I'd like to address several issues raised by people in relation to my notice of the ssh(R) trademark to the OpenSSH group. Also, I would like to make a proposal to the community for resolving this issue (included at the end). First, I'll answer a number of questions and arguments presented in the discussion. > "the SSH Corp trademark registration in the US is for a logo

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.
