Patents on SW is not valid in Europe.

I know, however openSUSE, is produced by legal means, by an US based company.

Patens on SW/Processes in the US is also a movig target with the Supreeme court reexamening the paent couts.

In the meanwhile the situation improves, we have to live with them (I wouldnt hold my breath though)

Yes, but this discussion is not where I want to raise them. I would like to see if there was som strategy from SUSE´s main contributor.

As Henne told you, there isn't a single strategy. -- "We have art in order not to die of the truth" - Friedrich Nietzsche Cristian Rodríguez R. Software Developer Platform/OpenSUSE - Core Services SUSE LINUX Products GmbH Research & Development http://www.opensuse.org/
