Doug Cutting commented on MAHOUT-31:
------------------------------------
> you or any other apache guy are NOT qualified to judge if a patent applies
+1, nor whether its owner objects to your use of any patent.
I would generally discourage folks from doing patent research when implementing
Apache code. It is usually both a waste of time and dangerous, since it opens
you to the possibility of treble damages. In particular, if you are involved
in patching this issue, please do not read the above cited patent.
A patent holder may tell us if they believe we have infringed their patents.
We should generally wait for that event, and not pro-actively seek permission.
