IEEE1588 patent encumbered -

[Ronciak, John]

We have started the discussion here, including our lawyers.  As soon as I know more I'll post an update to this list.


Cheers,
John

I would like to add my voice to request for patent info.  We have (had ?) every intention of running Ptp on some of our products and are far down the development road.  I am in the middle of sorting out other GPL license issues when finally looked at the patent note and now see your e-mails.

We would be very interested in knowing whether the original code on sourceforge (by Kendall) breaches any patents.  I do have access to a team of lawyers ( I work for  very large corporation) , but I want to find out a little more if I can, or at least be able to direct them better.

Much appreciated

Gertjan
