C# patent problem ??C# patent problem ??Posted May 12, 2005 13:01 UTC (Thu) by copsewood (subscriber, #199)In reply to: GNOME and high-level languages by liljencrantz Parent article: A new Harmony Project
It's one thing for Microsoft to publish a language spec as a standards proposal. But have they got patent claims on C#/mono technology users ? They might be most happy for the supposedly free world to get exited about mono if they can raise patent revenue from it from all corporate users behind closed doors.

C# patent problem ?? Posted May 12, 2005 14:30 UTC (Thu) by liljencrantz (guest, #28458) [Link] Patents are not bound to a specific standard. Given that Virtual machines all look quite a bit like each other, no matter if they parse CLR or Java bytecode, arguments about Mono being more 'dangerous' than Java, Smalltalk or Python is mostly FUD.
