Now FooCorp modifies Joan's browser to include a technology they have patented. They distribute this modified browser on CD. Are there any requirements in the GPL on how they may license their applicable patent?
1. No.
2. Yes, they must allow everyone to practice the patented technology for any purpose.
3. Yes, they must allow everyone who uses any code from the browser to practice their patented technology.
La bonne réponse est la 3.
Maintenant, je ne sais pas a quel point c'est vrai.
