If you sell the rights to something you no longer have control over the licensing of that product. BTW has anyone actually attempted to purchase the patent that applies to Selinux? All that would be needed is to purchase the rights to use it in Selinux but not the complete patent. Ed => The part about competitive products is a minor issue. The major issue is => that they can sell the patents (even to a wholly owned subsidiary) and => not => have the assurance statement apply. -- You have received this message because you are subscribed to the selinux list.
