What is the advantage of mentioning patents? I would rather not speak on that so 0BSD and Unlicense are nice.

- ghaff 6y agoThe theory is presumably that better to explicitly state that you won't assert patent rights against users of the software rather on rely on implicit patent grants. Plenty of IP lawyers are fine with the implicit patent grant in something like the MIT license but there's also a school of thought that, if you intend to grant a right, why not say you are so there's no question for lawyers to debate over.
