- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoMIT license doesn't transfer trademarks and patents.
- todd3834 4y agoI’m not familiar with open sourced code under MIT that is still protected by a patent. Can you share some examples of this?
- DaiPlusPlus 4y agoIn practice it means that development work still happens, and, and prebuilt redist binaries still get made, but only in countries that don't recognize software patents.
- zinekeller 4y agoTechnically not under MIT, but x264 and x265 are being developed despite the underlying technologies under it have patents.
