Google grants license for Apache Hadoop

,----[ Quote ]
| Google has granted a license for one of its 
| patents to the Apache Hadoop open source 
| framework for distributed computing. Larry 
| Rosen, the Apache Software Foundation's 
| (ASF) legal counsel, says that several weeks 
| ago he contacted Google about its recently 
| granted MapReduce process patent â patent 
| 7,650,331 ("System and method for efficient 
| large-scale data processing") â for fear 
| that it may be infringed by implementations 
| of Hadoop or other Apache MapReduce 
| projects.
