Thanks, that’s a theory making Fedora’s statements somewhat more understandable than they were with just the LWN excerpt. Namely, that other licenses, by being silent, might be construable as implying patent permissions. Perhaps the Creative Commons lawyers erred by mentioning patents at all, and they should issue a corrected “CC0v2”!
