Linux esanti patentuota technologija drumsčia vandenį Google ir kt kompanijoms

Nesenai etery atsirado žinia, kad Google pralaimėljo bylą dėl to, kad kartu su GNU/Linux naudoja patetntuotą technologiją:
"Methods and apparatus for information storage and retrieval using a hashing technique with external chaining and on-the-fly removal of expired data", pateiktą 1997 ir patvirtintą 1999 (nr 5893120).

Atrodo bus tęsinys, nes "The cases are also still ongoing for the other defendants and Red Hat".
