Quoting Henrik Ingo (henrik.i...@avoinelama.fi): > Good to remember that CC0 is not an OSI approved open source license, > precisely because it did not grant a patent license.
As someone who was part of that conversation, I feel the above doesn't accurately summarise its substance: We were in the middle of a conversation with the submitter about whether CC would consider removing CC0's blanket exclusion of all patent rights including implied grants, when the submitter withdraw the licence from the review process -- but there's no reason to think approval would have been denied, otherwise. There was a wide consensus that CC0 is very clearly OSD-compliant. (CC0 is by design not a software licence in the first place, but that's a different subject.) -- Cheers, "It's easier to act your way into a new way of thinking Rick Moen than think your way into a new way of acting." r...@linuxmafia.com -- Jerry Sternin McQ!
