- viraptor 9y agoIt means that if you implement Foo and give it whatever license, I can implement something that works exactly like Foo, call it Bar, and release it under whatever other license I want. Patents cover ideas, licences cover actual implementation. That's why ReactOS and Windows are both legal under different licenses, even though they try to implement the same thing.
