True, but patents != copyright. Totally different concept, totally

> >>>>>>> +It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any

> >>>>>>> +  12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in

> >>>>>>> +  13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
> >>>>>>> +versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
> >>>>>>> +Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,

> >>>>>>> +
> >>>>>>> +Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the 
> >>>>>>> Library
> >>>>>>> +specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
> >>>>>>> +"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
> >>>>>>> +conditions either of that version or of any later version published 
> >>>>>>> by
> >>>>>>> +the Free Software Foundation.  If the Library does not specify a
> >>>>>>> +license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
> >>>>>>> +the Free Software Foundation.
> >>>>>>> +
> >>>>>>> +  14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
> >>>>>>> +programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
> >>>>>>> +write to the author to ask for permission.  For software which is
> >>>>>>> +copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
> >>>>>>> +Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.  Our
> >>>>>>> +decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free 
> >>>>>>> status
> >>>>>>> +of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
> >>>>>>> +and reuse of software generally.
> >>>>>>> +
> >>>>>>> +                           NO WARRANTY
> >>>>>>> +
> >>>>>>> +  15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
> >>>>>>> +WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
> >>>>>>> +EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR

> >>>>>>> +KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
> >>>>>>> +IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR

> >>>>>>> +  16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
> >>>>>>> +WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY

> >>>>>>> +FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
> >>>>>>> +CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE

> >>>>>>> +           How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
> >>>>>>> +
> >>>>>>> +  If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
> >>>>>>> +possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
> >>>>>>> +everyone can redistribute and change.  You can do so by permitting
> >>>>>>> +redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms 
> >>>>>>> of the
> >>>>>>> +ordinary General Public License).
> >>>>>>> +
> >>>>>>> +  To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. 
> >>>>>>>  It is
> >>>>>>> +safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most 
> >>>>>>> effectively
> >>>>>>> +convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least 
> >>>>>>> the
> >>>>>>> +"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
