Please define 'critical assessment' and the kind of person qualified to make it. ISTM that many people in Fedora have assessed if a piece of software is presenting technical capabilities that may be covered by a patent. Examples of this abound and are regularly linked to. None of the authors are lawyers. So is that the line? Just don't hire a lawyer to determine if package $FOO may infringe on a patent or patents? - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Developer Community Mgr.
