"Even if hypothetically there are patent infringements in the Linux kernel, then the open source community would do the right thing and remove the offending code and, because open source development moves so rapidly, that means Linux would no longer be infringing before it even got to court. So even if Microsoft did have a case, by the time it got to court the case would be gone and whatever damages that they were able to ask for would be very minimal."

Thus explaining Microsoft's refusal to name patents. I doubt that, even given the argument that some court finds some of these patents valid, Microsoft would WANT that code removed. Kinda like SCO. And I still want to know the date on those patents Microsoft claims that it has and when it actually noticed this. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
