IBM releases 500 patents
Everyone is blogging about this, but nobody seems to be linking to the actual list of patents - so here it is.
The really interesting thing is the way the license is phrased; open source developers can use them without issue, and proprietary developers can use them so long as they do not sue open source developers.
In other words, we can all share IBM’s toys, but bullying someone means you have your toys taken away.
