Hello,
Hey,
Is there any possibility that I can accidentally infringe the patents of Apple if I create a browser based on WebKit? I know WebKit is licensed under LGPLv2, but it does not guarantee that the patents of Apple are automatically granted. So I am a bit worried.
I am not a lawyer, and a lawyer is probably what you should consult for a definitive answer on this if you are worried, but... I believe you cannot infringe any Apple patent by using/linking a library that is released by a project they are the biggest part of. You would only be breaking a patent if you were using the patented technique in your own code. See you, -- Gustavo Noronha Silva <gns@gnome.org> GNOME contributor: http://www.gnome.org/
