If you are interested in this, you should look at our source distribution's license file. We have done the work to get a patent license from MIT, Stony Brook, and Rutgers so that the users of the GPL'd code can use the fractal tree patents.
Indemnification is a completely different issue: no open source software that I know of provides any kind of indemnification which would protect you from a lawsuit by a third party.

- mjn 13y agoAh excellent, sorry for missing that. Yeah, I was just looking for a patent grant, not indemnification. I saw the notice of GPLv2, but hadn't seen the additional terms. If anyone else is looking for those, they're located here (possibly among other places): https://github.com/Tokutek/ft-index/blob/master/README-TOKUDB https://github.com/Tokutek/ft-index/blob/master/README-TOKUD... (ctrl+f "PATENT RIGHTS GRANT").
- carterschonwald 13y agoCould you elaborate on the meaning of the phrase "this implementation"? Eg if I write some apache2 Haskell code that can interact seamlessly with the rest of the storage engine implementation, and I swap that part In, is that still the same implementation?
