If patents aren't a concern then okay. Copyright lasts longer than patents so for anything that is in the public domain because of age then no patents would still apply. There isn¹t a lot of code that has aged out. Only code written between before 1963 and didn¹t get a renewal. _______________________________________________ License-discuss mailing list License-discuss@opensource.org https://lists.opensource.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss
