<rant>No offense to the author of the blog post, but articles like that are pure and unadulterated FUD.
Yes, that's exactly what I thought. I just wanted you people to know about it. I'd not stop using vala even if it truly infringed some patents, because I don't acknowledge software patents at all (in the worst case we all will end up on Chinese servers and any patent troll may kiss our butts). The idea of patenting delegate or a closure is an absurd, and surely these patents are invalid (but defending this thesis in a court would be costly and time consuming...). I thought that it would be good if someone more experienced in law & vala would say "there's no technical reasons that would make these ms patents relevant to vala". best regards, AW. -- Mój klucz publiczny o identyfikatorze 1024D/E12C5A4C znajduje się na serwerze hkp://keys.gnupg.net My public key with signature 1024D/E12C5A4C is on the server hkp://keys.gnupg.net
