Little known fact - when I was contemplating enhancing Zortech C into C++, I was concerned about AT&T's intellectual property. I contacted Ryan Williams (I think that was his name), AT&T's IP lawyer. I asked him: 1. do I need a license to create a C++ compiler? 2. do I need to call it something other than C++? He laughed and said, no, I could do whatever I wanted. He also thanked me for being the only compiler guy to ask permission. I read about his passing a few years ago. He was a solid guy. |
