    Est ce qu'il ne risque pas d'y avoir un petit problème avec les brevets ?

    Brian:
    Are there any patents that apply or that will apply to implementers of .Net or Hailstorm?
    Craig:
    I expect there certainly will be. I mean, the patent process takes a long time.
    Brian:
    So you've applied for them?
    Dave:
    Actually, though, I think there's a really interesting point to be made. I think in the long run that patents will benefit open source as a structural thing. I think that in order to get large commercial entities like us involved ? and you said you want us. We want to be there. So eventually it's going to happen ?
    Brian:
    We want you on our terms.
