Could someone please provide information on any patents known to apply to this project?
No, damnit. That is not how patents work! If we are notified of a patent owned by some entity that has not signed a CLA and contributed the code, then and ONLY THEN do we spend time analyzing whether the claims apply to some project of ours. Under no circumstances should an Apache project go out and search for patents that might apply based on their own opinion of what is claimed or what we implement. ....Roy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
