Other people's patentsOther people's patentsPosted Mar 29, 2009 15:50 UTC (Sun) by dmarti (subscriber, #11625)In reply to: Oh, What A Tangled Web We Weave ... by ldo Parent article: OSBC: Life at the edge of the GPL One big reason for having to avoid creating a derivative work is when you want to introduce a product that includes both GPL code and something that's patented by a third party. This kind of thing can be tricky for Free Software projects too -- look at the legal section of the GStreamer FAQ. Is it better to use, and possibly help improve, some GPL code, or have to get a proprietary alternative to everything because you have to get a patent license for one component?
