I think I understand more or less correctly the rights that GPL provides on patents: in fact I agree with your post. I'm only saying that there is a number of posts and comments around that says that GPLv2 doesn't protect enough from patents. My point was directed to people asserting that, asking why they don't bring their point to the consequences that even Linux should be at risk (which sounds absurd to me). - -- Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect, Project Manager Tidalwave s.a.s. - "We make Java work.
