Huh? Notification of potential patent infringements is encouraged
and in fact effectively required by the LLVM Developer Policy:<br>
<br>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<blockquote><i><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:

Jb Feldman is absolutely correct to bring this up.<br>
<br>
To suppress contributors who are providing essential notification in
an area they're work on is callous and ill advised.<br>
<br>
These rules are here to protect those of us who have customers to
support in the United States and once brought up, notifications must
be heard by the community as required by the developer policy.<br>
