- antoncohen 9y agoI don't see how that changes anything. If you sue Facebook you lose the explicit patent grant, but you are still left with a BSD license that allows "redistribution and use in source and binary forms", so you still have the implicit patent grant.
- rockdoe 9y agoThis doesn't work if there's an explicit grant. You can't pretend the PATENTS file isn't there.
