| I also asked Olson about Googleâs recent
| move to patent the MapReduce algorithm for
| working with large data sets that underlies
| Google searches. Hadoop is based on a
| variant of MapReduce, and there have been
| suggestions made that everyone using Hadoop
| or MapReduce is in danger following
| Googleâs patents. As we noted here, Hadoop
| really isnât threatened, though. âGoogle
| has no track record of using patents
| offensively,â Olson noted.

,----[ Quote ]
| With most jurisdictions still lax about
| violations of software patents by Linux
| users, who remain a quantatively negligible
| group, the popularity of products like
| Fluendoâs may be limited. But as Ubuntuâs
| user base grows, especially in the
| workplace, legal solutions for multimedia
| playback will become more and more
| important.
