Nowadays just about anything can be patented... But anyway, I fully expect that many applications developed for the OpenMoko will infringe patents in some jurisdictions, simply because of the prevalence of bad patents. That said, if it's an especially useful input system, which I haven't determined for myself, somebody unencumbered could implement it regardless of whether the patent (currently pending, as somebody said) is granted or not. It would just stop the program from being adopted as any kind of OpenMoko "standard" - nobody wants FIC in trouble over Moko, especially FIC themselves. :] -- Mikko Rauhala - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - <URL:http://www.iki.fi/mjr/> Transhumanist - WTA member - <URL:http://www.transhumanism.org/> Singularitarian - SIAI supporter - <URL:http://www.singinst.org/> _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
