I've suggested a way that you can rectify this situation so we can cont= inue to
collaborate: Have Rootstock adopt a legally binding patent pledge/license. = I'd
suggest you do as Blockstream has done and at minimum adopt the Defensive Patent License (DPL); I personally will be doing so in the next week or two= for
my own consulting company (I'm discussing exactly how to do so with my = lawyer
right now).

If Rootstock is not planning on getting any patents for offensive purposes,=
then there is no issue with doing so - the DPL in particular is designed in= a
minimally intrusive way.

Please fix this issue so we can in fact continue to collaborate to improve<= br> Bitcoin.
