I meant no offense. What I simply mean is that it is not acceptable for a patent holder to donate work to an open source project and then go tell everyone that uses it that they have to pay up. That isn't open source. I'm -1 until I'm convinced that isn't what is about to happen. Nothing I've read has satisfied me to that effect. RAND + non-comm are not satisfactory terms as they fail the OSD.
Again, I support the work, but simply want it licensed to where it can be distributed as open source.
