[hobbit] Will hobbit infringe patent/copyright of Quest's bb ?

[Hubbard, Greg L]

Didn't they submit an RFC for the protocol?  That would make it
available for anyone to use.  A pure Hobbit implementation would not be
subject to any Quest decisions.  But if you are mixing BB and Hobbit
components, then you will have to honor any BB license restrictions.

Of course, I am not a lawyer, and so this viewpoint is based on what
sounds reasonable to me, not necessarily on what might get decided in a
court.  And we all know how courts can sometimes interpret things in a
way that is not obvious to most folks.

enforce per-seat license policy ?
