OSDL launches patent commons reference library [LWN.net]

OSDL has announced the creation of an online "patent commons reference library," found at patentcommons.org. "The Patent Commons website will catalogue existing patent commitments from companies and individuals who wish to retain ownership of their patents, and will provide information about different types of pledges and covenants and how they work. In the coming months, the site will expand to include other legal solutions that benefit the open source community, including open source licenses, indemnification programs and information for organizations and individuals who wish to contribute to the commons."
