Hello,
regarding the patent-question. From https://lwn.net/Articles/783673/, I see:
"
It looks like a fairly typical battle between a protocol pushed by the
largest Internet service providers, and one with a rather more grass-roots
origin. There is, however, another important thing to know about L4S:
Alcatel-Lucent claims a patent on the dual-queue algorithm. The company has
generously offered to make that patent available under "fair, reasonable,
and non-discriminatory" terms; such terms are, of course, highly
discriminatory against free software implementations. They make it
impossible to merge the affected code into a GPL-licensed kernel.
"
Is that true?
Christoph
