Sidebar: Patent FudSidebar: Patent FudPosted May 17, 2007 12:48 UTC (Thu) by davecb (subscriber, #1574)Parent article: Critical Vulnerabilities in Samba Jake Edge wrote: Somewhat surprisingly, the project was not singled out in the latest patent saber rattling by Microsoft; it is probably just an oversight as Samba is precisely the kind of package that Microsoft would want to spread patent FUD about. The Samba team are very sensitive to the use of both real patents and patent-FUD against Samba, and take due care that thay don't get caught by the rather obvious kinds of attack Microsoft has tried in the past. Notably in the MS-specific hacks in Kerberos and the "licensed documentation" about it. --dave
