Happy, but uneasyHappy, but uneasyPosted Aug 7, 2003 23:26 UTC (Thu) by JoeBuck (subscriber, #2330)In reply to: Happy, but uneasy by rjamestaylor Parent article: A brief look at IBM's counterclaims
IBM has explicitly licensed some of its patents for use in GPL code. For example, GCC is now able to use register allocation techniques that were formerly blocked by IBM patents. I would prefer to see IBM take this much further and put it on a formal basis (especially if GNU/Linux distributors could be accused of violating the same patents that they are charging SCO with violating).
