First, I would like to point out and "slap right on the table", obfuscation, diversion, slight-of-hand and wordiness look lame to me ... for whatever reason, they strike me as tools of the "uneducated con man." That out of the way ... ... don't bet on it. microsoft just had to remove a major feature from word because of patent infringement. and there are lots of cases where companies have to buy rights to use patented features before they can release their products, compression algorithms are just one of many things that have been patented. Microsoft stole Java from Sun and attempted to make it, its' own. Microsoft has a long history of this. The type(s) of individual(s) who do such seem to infiltrate large corporations in large numbers. However, really a moot point to the direction in which this conversation first started ... even the cursor and the mouse have patents. Yeah, as if someone grasping at straws and thinking that "just owning a patent", in someway, is some kind of status symbol ... something which fails to impress anyone worth impressing. fortunately most of my work is using standard tools that come with distribution licenses, and the stuff i develop that is unique is from our own research programs so we obviously own the rights. but if i find a free tool that has something that will make my job much easier i have to submit the license to our software quality and then maybe legal offices to be sure we can use it without infringing. you know those long license statements that no one ever reads before installing something?? most of them unfortunately make sense to me now. Yeah, most people double check their work(s) and have others do so, if available ... Regards, JS |
