Actually this idea I've been hearing for many years now that Canonical inherently does not face software patent issues because it is not *based* in the US makes no sense. Consider that a company that is *based* in the US does not by virtue of that fact avoid patent risk exposure in other countries. Where you are *based* has nothing to do with patent infringement liability. - Richard _______________________________________________ legal mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/legal
