The patent it from 2004, so the issue becomes moot in 2024. At least for the C++ standardization that might be a reasonable timeline.

- zib5KotfeesIr 8y agoThe main patents have been expired for a while, no? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read-copy-update#Patents https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read-copy-update#Patents There's a lot of followup patents around optimizations, but it's probably possible to avoid those.
- gpderetta 8y agoIIRC, although some variants might have been patented later, the original patent is form the '90s, so as long as an implementation sticks to what it is described there, it should be safe. IANAL and everything.
