Could you clarify/elaborate on what it means "the exact patent burden is not disclosed"? I was hoping that the written consent we got from AUTOSAR would be a strong basis to move forward.

In general it would also be good to know if there was any other impediment to move forward. This information would be extremely valuable to try and do better in the future - I'm thinking on the upcoming MISRA release.

Chris Tapp (chair of MISRA) has been involved in similar discussions <https://discourse.llvm.org/t/clang-tidy-rfc-add-autosar-c-14-clang-tidy-module/59162/5> in the cfe-dev mailing list, so I think it would be beneficial for him to get this feedback and hopefully make the upcoming MISRA release easy to work with from this standpoint (if MISRA is interested in an open-source checker implementation, of course).

Looking forward to your thoughts :)
