securitybreach Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 July 13 — Toyota Motor Corp. is the newest board member of the patent non-aggression group supporting the open source Linux operating system, the group announced July 13. Toyota is the first new member since Google Inc. joined the 11-year-old Open Invention Network’s six founding members in 2013. It’s also the first auto company on the board. Board members fund OIN’s operations, which include buying Linux-related patents and defending Linux developers accused of infringement. The network also passed 2,000 licensee members, according to a July 13 release. Those members have full access to OIN-owned patents in exchange for a pledge not to litigate over them but don’t fund network operations.... http://www.bna.com/t...d-n73014444726/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
