Right, and some legal scholars say that is an implicit patent license, but AFAICT no court has yet upheld that.https://twitter.com/ryan_roemer/status/911363546927075329 …

I'd love to be wrong on this count FWIW.
-
I think it's funny to call an unrestricted right to use an implicit license. If you buy off the shelf software w/ that, what would it mean?
-
And in answer to your question, off the shelf software is subject to exhaustion of IP rights, so question is moot! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaustion_of_intellectual_property_rights …
-
I wasn't thinking about exhaustion! Might it apply to OSS software (recent changes only apply to "licenses" with significant usage restrict)
-
My vague understanding (and I'm not a lawyer!) is that exhaustion requires a purchase, but I may be totally wrong.
-
Yeah I'm looking for the legal (or case law) definition of "authorized purchase" and didn't find anything about consideration or "free"
-
There's some stuff about nonprofits and libraries (could be relevant but not reading case law on my phone to find out)

Oh that was a typo, it's supposed to say "sue"

It's a move in the right direction and I'm happy to see FB finally doing the right thing.

(I completely agree btw)
