Doug Cutting commented on MAHOUT-31:
------------------------------------
> we should not do anything with it without legal permission
By that argument, we'd soon do nothing with any patch. One can easily search
patent databases and find patents that might read on nearly any patch.
I personally have no idea whether that patent reads on this issue. We don't
even have a patch here yet! Ankur has read a patent that he thinks may read on
something that has yet to be implemented. So I think it would be a mistake for
Ankur to implement this. But beyond that, I don't see a need to restrict our
actions here.
