After Oracle v. Google, can a project consider a protocol designed by Microsoft safe to use even if they're doing their own implementation of the contract enforcement engine?
- dataflow 3y agoClang already supports a bunch of MS compiler features. I don't see why this is any different?
- jcranmer 3y agoGiven that SCOTUS essentially ruled that clean-room implementation is more or less automatically fair use, why not?
- Someone 3y agoMaking sure, firstly, that your implementation is clean room and, secondly, that you can prove that in court, is quite a hassle, though, especially if your implementers visited various conferences and standard meetings where they met people working on the feature being reimplemented.
