Now I wrote most of the code, and placed the copyright under ownership of the FSF. But aren't the issues of copyright and patent somewhat separate? What does "patent protection" consist of in this case? I understand that patent owners have to actively defend their patents against unlicensed use by threatening lawsuits, but what can I do as a coder / distributor do to protect others from said lawsuits beyond releasing the source under the terms of the gplv3? _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
