IBM reinforces 500 patentsIBM reinforces 500 patentsPosted Jan 11, 2005 18:17 UTC (Tue) by mmarq (guest, #2332)In reply to: IBM reinforces 500 patents by danielos Parent article: IBM frees 500 patents
" Let take MySQL who sells products in a dual license model, they have to pay for patent to IBM if some code go inside mysqldb or maxdb. "
Do they now ?... and if those RDBMS are to run on a IBM PPC Machine, wouldn't the pledge to not attack Open Source will get more focus, and actuality ?...
I was never an afficionado of the old corporative mentality, but everybody has the rigfht to exist under the rules of law and right. So what i belive is that IBM is doing a *bold* move, experimenting new approches, trying to keep the focus that where sleeping to Novell, and frankly i dont belive they quite realise the enourmous consequences that their move can leed to... this is just the very *SHORT* beggining, but i dont belive IBM can see how "things" gonna be at the end of it... i dont belive anybody really can, period.
