I am curious if any *BSD developers or *BSD projects (or other) have any patents on the techniques used (or previously used) in a BSD project. Does anyone know? I am not discussing whether patents are good or not, but you can discuss that too. What made me think about this was were some patents I read about for scheduling threads in a multithreaded processor, virtual-to-physical memory page mapping, inserting memory prefetch operations based on measured latencies in a program optimizer, and others.
