| Mar 23, 2017 at 10:38 | comment | added | MadHatter♦ | @Orangesandlemons thanks for clarifying that. I agree with you. | |
| Mar 23, 2017 at 10:37 | comment | added | user4916 | @MadHatter yes. the MIT code still belongs to it's copyright holder. | |
| Mar 23, 2017 at 10:36 | comment | added | MadHatter♦ | @Orangesandlemons just for clarification, you're saying you can't patent the MIT part because someone else invented it, not because of any licence it may or may not come under? | |
| Mar 23, 2017 at 10:35 | comment | added | user4916 | @LethalProgrammer you can't patent the MIT parts, but you can patent your code. MIT is pretty much a 'you are free to use our code, no strings attached' licence. | |
| Mar 23, 2017 at 10:35 | comment | added | MadHatter♦ | If I were writing something that was an opinion, I'd prefix it with "I think that...", and I certainly wouldn't include it in a quote block, which very much makes it look as if you're citing some authority. | |
| Mar 23, 2017 at 7:46 | comment | added | danglingpointer | @madHatter, Well that's how it is in the projects I worked, we patterned mostly the hardware design not the software. Perhaps my interpretation might be wrong on patenting the software on the basis of MIT license. Well to me patent is invention you can't patent if you use open source you need to use GPL and LGPL for that, that's what I read in books and licensing documents in need but I agree with you these are information, I don't claim it's true. | |
| Mar 23, 2017 at 6:32 | comment | added | MadHatter♦ | "You cant patent software code, if you use MIT license or other open source licence" could you provide a source for that, because I don't think it's true. | |
