Hi Joonwon.  The Apache 2.0 license offers some protection on patent risk - see the final sentence of Section 3.  The newly-appointed Legal Affairs Committee will be looking at additional strategies for the community to address patent and other intellectual property issues.  Keith Bergelt of the OIN gave a great presentation at our Legal Track highlighting some of the areas we need to look at.   As of now, I would say that OpenStack participants have different approaches based on their particular situation.  I am happy to talk to you off-list about Rackspace's views.    Thank you for the posting.  Alice
