      This sounds like a pretty solid improvement. A few additional thoughts: (As always, IANAL, TINL) 1/12

      I presume your #1 goal is to protect ETC development from the prospect of submarine patents. The best you can here do is protect your community from the owners of patents who attempt to submarine reqs in the specs, or features in code, that require a license to their patent. 2/12

      You can't protect against third parties with patents - that's better addressed through patent licensing pools like the Open Invention Network. You're basically just trying to reassure users that they can trust the participants in the process not to have ulterior motives. 3/12

      You're also trying to protect against future Craig Wright style threats, when contributors are otherwise anonymous. This is why knowing who contributors are is important, and having a clear grant. (importantly: not just MIT license, which has no patent provision!) 4/12

      This is something we'll have to sort out with Rocket Labs if they want to get enterprise adoption for Avalanche. 5/12

      This can all come across as a hassle to devs who just want to work together on code, share ideas, and not be a part of the IP industrial complex. This is the kind of anger that leads to MIT-licensed code, or WTFPL, or even nil copyright notice on code. 6/12

      All of that presents a danger to end users. If you don't care about your end users, fine, put out code or specs with terms that don't protect them from potential abusers who would use your good will as subterfuge for their ends. Kudos to Bob for caring about ETC users. 7/12

      Slight tangent for both of you: I've been getting emails from the Open Invention Network. Should @trufflesuite join?

          Bob Summerwill Retweeted Nat Friedman

          Hey Tim, Looking at the the membership, it looks to me like it is more of "collective defence" thing only for Linux: https://www.openinventionnetwork.com/about-us/  When @natfriedman announced that on Twitter in 2018 it was a 💕💕💕 moment: https://twitter.com/natfriedman/status/1050035501569167362 … No caveats:https://twitter.com/natfriedman/status/1050080717562990592 …

          Bob Summerwill added,

          Nat Friedman @natfriedman
          We did not exclude any patents from our OIN commitment to license our portfolio to the Linux System. We signed the standard OIN License Agreement, and didn’t negotiate any exclusions. We actually clicked through the OIN agreement like any other licensee!

          Microsoft 💕 Linux. Joining OIN must also have been a moment of massive validation and relief for @shanselman who has been one of a number of instrumental people fighting for OS from the inside https://twitter.com/shanselman/status/1050044689800298497 … But it comes from the very top - @scottgu and @satyanadellapic.twitter.com/XVidZzPZ4x
