Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Geo4All] Microsoft open-sources its patent portfolio
Not really though - they joined a club (open invention network) that promises not to use patents against each other. OSGeo could of course also join this club but I do not think we have any patents. -- Jody Garnett On Thu, 11 Oct 2018 at 21:56, Suchith Anand wrote: > Came across this > > > > > https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-open-sources-its-entire-patent-portfolio/ > > > > > This message and any attachment are intended solely for the addressee > and may contain confidential information.
