| jrwren | :( | 16:35 |
| greg-g | I saw this coming when CC0 was released. The use case was 100% scientific/research data, not software, not even content. It came out of the science team at CC (John Wilbanks and crew). That patent carveout was explicitly made to encourage more adoption by eg medical research teams. | 16:44 |
| jrwren | interesting. | 16:46 |
| jrwren | i always liked it for source code as a "this goes to public domain". I guess "public domain" licensed software should be removed from fedora for similar reasoning | 16:47 |
| greg-g | maybe. if it just says "here, this is PD" then there's less worry b/c that implicitly includes any patent rights. CCO is bad because it explicitly says they aren't included in the PD dedication. | 16:48 |
| jrwren | thats... wierd. there would be no implicit patent rights granted to the users of the PD software | 17:21 |
| * greg-g shrugs | 17:35 | |
| greg-g | IANAL and all that | 17:35 |
| jrwren | same. | 18:23 |
