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, it is up to each individual user

...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 to infringing on patents. Of course, turnabout is fair play, and Klausner Technologies Inc. filed suit against Vonage for infringing its patent number 5,572,576, which concerns the retrieval of VoIP voicemail on a cell phone or handheld device. http://www.cedmagazine.com/article/CA6351074.html -- =+=+=+=+=+=...

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

...ch 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 (with their patent numbers and titles) : 5,384,811: Method for transmitting a TDAC coded audio signal 5,321,729: Method for transmitting a signal using adaptive window functions 5,214,742: Method for transmitting an audio signal using adaptive window functions 5,742,735:...

...ELEMENTS of a PRIMARY claim. If you don't do something in the primary claim then by definition you aren't doing the things in secondary claims that reference it (ie, where the claim reads "... in claim X ..."). In short if you workaround the primary claims you probably aren't infringing. Wikipeadia, with some jurisdictional hand-waving, appears to agree: "If all of the claim's elements are found in the technology, the claim is said to "read on" the technology; if a single element from the claim is missing from the technology, the claim does not literally read on...

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 contribuatory infringement. -- snip -- The patch is not against Asterisk - it is against Intel's sample code. No parts of...

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

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 d...
