Hi
Basically: the same as any other software! We will try and avoid patents where possible (work-arounds), attempting to find prior art or perhaps even trying to prove them bogus. This is an industry wide problem - Microsoft is regularly bitten by this very problem particularly because they have so much cash. We will just have to try our best to handle the problem - just like everyone else.
Cheers Jason

What is the situation regarding 'ReactOS development' and software patents? I understand the patents might hamper heaps of software development of course. Where does it leave developers, and people like myself who will be the end user?
