It does not. That's why I usually use it only for those trivial pieces of code that are obvious anyway.
It actually make them patent sharks happy, instead of annoying them. :-)
Basically the pieces of code that I would have licensed as "Public Domain". But unfortunately there is no such thing as "Public Domain" where I live IIUC, and there are lots of different definitions of "Public Domain" around the world.
Try Creative Commons CC0. CC0 does the trick, by saying: in the public domain, where public domain is possible, and otherwise it is to be handled as if it were in the public domain. cheers, JW- -- o \ Juergen Weigert paint it green! __/ _=======.=======_ <V> | jw@suse.de back to ascii! __/ _---|____________\/ \ | 0911 74053-508 __/ (____/ /\ (/) | _____________________________/ _/ \_ vim:set sw=2 wm=8 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) "You are trying to use packages from project 'openSUSE:11.3'.
