Let's also hope that most patents that could harm us (should there
be some lurking out there) will have expired by then.
True. As most "technology" that ever microsoft "invented" is a quickly
reengineered or just stoled things that was already done many years
before in many other systems, very often BSD, then it is not a problem
Unless Congress
pulls a Mickey Mouse Protection Act-lookalike on patents by extending
them just as they did with Copyright.
then it will still hit USA users only. FreeBSD master site can simply be
moved.
But as usual with Congress, I wouldn't hold my breath: they aren't
exactly known for enacting reasonable and sensible laws.
No government is known for that. but that's off topic.
