Patents != patents ?

[Axel Thimm]

Hi,

vtk is a 3d rendering toolkit that has recently got rid of foreign
patents but the authors hold some patents themselves (possibly for
protection).

I would ask the patent holders if they can explicitely allow Fedora
redistribution of vtk if it is deemed a viable modus by fedora
(legal?).

Since fedora legal is somehow not an entity that can be directly
addressed, and because even if legal would say OK, this would still
need to be refined through fesco, fab or other instances, I
bluntly raise this issue here. Divert me to better places, if there
are some :)
