intentions are all for the good, what are the outcomes? And what are the limitations, if you implement a patent-protected algorithm in a language whose run-time is covered by this license are you giving away your rights? What if you implement your super-duper gee-whiz algorithm^Wmechanism as a binary plugin for a covered application, or as loadable kernel module. -- http://Zoneverte.org -- information explained Do you know what your IT infrastructure does?
