We can't. See, if they'd merely hold the copyright to some code, we could just rewrite that part. However, patents do explicitly extend to indepentent implementations since they cover an IDEA, not as copyright does an EXPRESSION. That's the true evil of software patents. He who lives closer to the patent office wins. -- New GPG Key issued (old key expired): http://web.lemuria.org/pubkey.html pub 1024D/2D7A04F5 2002-05-16 Tom Vogt Key fingerprint = C731 64D1 4BCF 4C20 48A4 29B2 BF01 9FA1 2D7A 04F5 -- You have received this message because you are subscribed to the selinux list.
