Hello. Can
anyone report what is going on with the EU software patents?
How they would affect immediately the audio and graphics development
we are doing? Xine? Sodipodi? Others?
I suppose you wouldn't be allowed to control one oscillator's
frequency with the output of another oscillator using more than about
10 Hz because that is Frequency Modulation and Yamaha has a patent on
that. But I'm no lawyer.
The FM patents expired a while ago... I may be _completely_ wrong but I
seem to remember they did not cover the principle of fm for audio
synthesis but a certain implementation in hardware.
