Re: [Vala] Is vala threatened by patents?

2007/9/7, Jürg Billeter <j bitron ch>:

Patents have been never used for anything than stealing money to big companies or as a nuclear like threat in a cold war like enviroment between them. For small projects like this I wouldn't care. Even more, Vala is only a developer facility tool, it´s not even a platform dependency so no worries at all. On the other hand patents are only covered for implementations, I don´t think Microsoft has any implementation of a C# to GObject translator so no worries either.

The best practical approach IMHO is to ignore patents as long as you don't reverse engineer anything.

Jürg
