I don't know if it is; that's the problem.
Given Sergio's prior behavior of attempting to use patents offensively, it's
perfectly reasonable to suspect that Rootstock does in fact intend to encum=
ber
this proposal with patents. So the obvious thing to do, is for Rootstock to
give us all a legally binding guarantee that they will not be using patents
offensively, eliminating the problem and allowing us to return to productive
collaboration.
Remember that this kind of requirement is very common in standards bodies, =
e.g.
by having all companies contributing to the standards in question join a pa=
tent
pool, or by making legally binding pledges/licenses to ensure any patents t=
hey
hold can't be used offensively.
