Tiens, régale toi :
"Patent issues are not new for the linux kernel. Redhat patented Ingo Molnar's work, and the SELinux project faced patent claims from the company hired to do most of the coding. Now patent concerns are plauging the VM"
( http://kerneltrap.org/node/388(...) )
Linux VM hackers are engaged in ongoing discussions on both large page support (covered last week) and improving the performance of the new reverse mapping mechanism. That conversation slowed down, however, when Alan Cox pointed out that a number of the techniques being discussed are covered by SGI patents. In fact, a closer look by Daniel Phillips shows that a number of existing Linux technologies, including reverse mapping in general and the buddy allocator, are covered by these patents. This is a problem, he said, that we can't ignore.

"Linux ally IBM turned out to own the largest number of patents uncovered in Ravicher's research. Big Blue held 60 patents that could conceivably threaten the Linux kernel. Hewlett-Packard, Intel and Novell also held some of the patents in question, Ravicher said."

ah oui dans la liste y'en a aussi 27 de MS, plus que ceux de MS sur .NET.
ca te suffit comme justificatif pour dire que Linux en viole un bon paquet ?
et personne ne le nie sauf toi.
