Thanks Matt- I found another LEGAL ticket (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-330) based on a Google version of the PATENTS file this time.
Looks like things are OK to use then. —Eric On Nov 14, 2017, at 12:50 PM, Mills, Matthew <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: FYI, Go itself has the same file https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/PATENTS On 11/14/17, 10:36:43 AM, "Eric Friedrich (efriedri)" <[email protected]> wrote: I’ve been going through licensing for the 2.1 release and found this file: ./traffic_stats/vendor/golang.org/x/net/PATENTS<http://golang.org/x/net/PATENTS> This looks like it places some of the same restrictions that caused the whole Facebook React.js and rocksDb controversy a few months ago. Fun reading here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-303 There’s some in depth discussion of the detailed Facebook license, I can’t even begin to speculate how that compares to this Google conditional patent grant. We can see what the IPMC/Legal thinks or maybe just remove the code? —Eric
