Google has Joined Open Invention Network - The Light Side
An excerpt:
"Patents owned by Open Invention Network are available royalty-free to any company, institution or individual that agrees not to assert its patents against the Linux System. This enables companies to continue to make significant corporate and capital expenditure investments in Linux – helping to fuel economic growth. By developing a web of Linux developers, distributors, sellers, resellers and end-users that license its patent portfolio, Open Invention Network is creating a supportive and shielded ecosystem to ensure the growth and adoption of Linux."
This kinda makes up for the sillyness that Google has been doing.
And here hopin' more companies will join. With all the patent gunslingin' by the big boys, this is your best shot as an upstart to protect yourself!
