Description
Motivation
The MIT license grants a license for the source w.r.t. copyright, but not any patents that Microsoft may have that cover the software. Even using this software for its intended purpose, i.e. writing Windows apps, potentially exposes users to patent infringement liability.
Suggestion
It would be nice to have some documentation from Microsoft that includes:
- What Microsoft-owned patents might cover functionality in WPF.
- Which of those patents already have public grants/licenses such as OIN, and under what terms.
- Instructions for licensing said patents, if not covered by an existing grant.
