Bob Sutor on IBM's release of patents to Open Source
Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 01/13/2005 03:04 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
Bob is the VP of IBM Standards. He says: "To be clear, this is not a "donation," but rather a pledge of the patents to seed and then maintain a patent commons for open source projects." Go here to see his other comments and his extensive list of links to articles on the subject from all the major developer and business publications. There is also a link to the Patent Description Document, which provides the nitty-gritty of the patent release.
