Possibly true. Either way, the patent prevents distribution by anyone else under the GPL. It may or may not impact the patent holder.

It just means that others should have access to the code that you used in the fork. --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
