Does GPL implicitly grant patent license ?Does GPL implicitly grant patent license ?Posted Jul 20, 2009 10:49 UTC (Mon) by pjm (subscriber, #2080)In reply to: If the patents are sold, is the promise no longer enforceable? by Ed_L. Parent article: The FSF warns (again) against Mono
Can you be explicit about the premises that make that (likely to) imply a patent license? They have said (through the GPL) "you can redistribute this so long as there aren't any patent restrictions that forbid royalty-free redistribution", but I'd hesitate to infer that there aren't any patent restrictions that forbid royalty-free redistribution.
