The BSD license is clear that it's a copyright license. IANAL, but I expect "this isn't a patent license and its terms don't cover our patents" would stand up in court. Which is how we get to the GP's question of implied license.
- kazinator 4y agoIf the plaintiff seeks to stop the defendent from engaging in "redistribution and use", by invoking their patent, but the plaintiff put a license on the code whose wording allows "redistribution and use" in any form without any restrictions, I don't see how the court could just ignore that.
