exFAT, Hyperledger, Hadoop, Android AOSP 10 and Robot OS are among the new software packages now included under the protective umbrella of the Linux System definition.
Durham, NC (October 13, 2020) – Open Invention Network (OIN), the largest patent non-aggression community in history, announced today that it has further reduced patent risk associated with core Linux and adjacent open source code through the measured expansion of the scope of its Linux System Definition. To keep pace with innovation and safeguard broad-based adoption of open source code, Open Invention Network periodically revises its Linux System coverage to include core code drawn from the growing number of important open source projects.
In the current Linux System definition update, OIN’s ever-expanding licensee community will benefit from patent risk mitigation associated with the use of core software packages drawn from Hyperledger, Apache Avro, Kafka, Spark, Hadoop, Automotive Grade Linux (AGL), Robot Operating System (ROS), KDE Frameworks, Android AOSP 10, Eclipse Paho and Mosquito, among others. Of particular note, OIN is incorporating the Linux implementations of exFAT into the scope of patent non-aggression by virtue of this update. In total, the expansion includes 520 new software components, bringing the total number of Linux System-protected packages to 3,393.
“Linux and open-source software proliferation accelerates the pace of innovation across industries as software becomes an increasingly important source of differentiation,” said Keith Bergelt, CEO of Open Invention Network. “This Linux System expansion enables OIN to keep pace with open source innovation, promoting patent non-aggression in the core. As open source grows, we will continue the measured expansion of the Linux System and, at the same time, recruit more companies into the OIN community to further mitigate patent risk associated with the use of core open-source code.”
Open Invention Network (OIN) is the largest patent non-aggression community in history and supports freedom of action in Linux as a key element of open source software (OSS). Patent non-aggression in core technologies is a cultural norm within OSS, so that the litmus test for authentic behavior in the OSS community includes OIN membership. Funded by Google, IBM, NEC, Philips, Red Hat, Sony, SUSE and Toyota, OIN has more than 2,750 community members and owns more than 1,300 global patents and applications. The OIN patent license and member cross-licenses are available royalty-free to any party that joins the OIN community.

Visa (NYSE:V) is going deeper into crypto it seems. Yesterday, a patent application by Visa was published on the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USTPO) website for a “digital fiat currency.”
Initially filed in November 2019, the document outlines the process Visa envisions to utilize “distributed ledger technology” [DLT] in the transfer of cash.
The document also states that in some embodiments, Hyperledger Fabric may be utilized to implement “various aspects” of the process. Hyperledger Fabric is a permissioned blockchain.
Visa was a founding member of the Libra Association in Switzerland. In October of 2019, Visa followed a host of other founding members and exited the Libra Association following an onslaught of criticism from regulatory and elected officials. A month later, Visa apparently filed to launch its own stablecoin.
As a payments rail, Visa has been scurrying to buttress its relevance in a fast-changing landscape of transfers and payments. Visa can handle over 65,000 transaction messages a second far faster than many off-the-rack blockchains. Yet, usurpers are seeking to challenge Visa with less costly, potentially more robust blockchain-based payments system. Pursuing a bespoke crypto service simply makes sense.
In January 2020, Visa signed an agreement to acquire the Fintech Plaid, a network that makes it easy for people to securely connect their financial accounts to the apps they use to manage their financial lives. Visa paid $4.9 billion in cash (plus an additional $400m for incidentals).
Q: I’m having trouble creating a Citirx account so that I can access the NDA registration form. What should I do?
A: Go to https://www.citrix.com/support/open-a-support-case/, pick the region you are in from the “Customer Service” option on the right, and click Go. Scroll down and use our “Chat now” option or complete the “Request Support” form and someone will contact you within 1 business day.
Q: I don’t have the authority to sign/acknowledge the online NDA on My Account. How do I move forward?
A: Citrix encourages you to work with your internal Legal team for the proper authority. Once you find that member within your organization, they can create an account and click-thru/sign the online NDA.
Q: Where do I find instructions that can assist with walking me through the online click-thru NDA registration process?
A: Instructions can be found on Citrix.com at https://www.citrix.com/about/legal/nda.html.
Q: I signed the NDA online, but I’m still unable to immediately get my SOC2 report, why?
A: After you sign an online NDA, it currently takes four to six hours for Citrix’ back office systems to re-synchronize permissions.
Q: How can I make changes (customize) to the online NDA version before signing it?
A: Unfortunately, Citrix does not accept changes to its standard online NDA.
Q: What if I want a physical customized NDA?
A: “We apologize, unfortunately Citrix does not negotiate the terms of an NDA agreement”.
Q: Why does Citrix need to have an NDA in place with a customer?
A: The available non-disclosure agreement is to support sales and/or marketing activities between Citrix and its customers.
Q: What type of information is considered confidential?
A: Confidential information may include, but shall not be limited to, sales or marketing data or plans, product or service information or roadmaps and/or Citrix’ requirements or preferences. The non-disclosure agreement is not designed for and will not cover the exchange of confidential information in support of joint development or invention disclosure activities.
Q: If I make a request for SOC2 report for any of Citirx’ products, do I have to sign an NDA for each product?
A: No, because ShareFile is the only product that has a SOC 2 report.
Q: How can I find out about ShareFile encryption limit?
A: Limits can be found in the SOC 2 report.
Here’s the architecture
Site 1 (Production Site)
SEPM Server
172.17.21.154:8014
Site 2 (DR Site)
SEPM Server
172.22.23.140:8014
Site 1 is replicating to Site 2.
We want the second site to be available to the clients if the first site is not. So how should the server priority list be setup? Should it be setup the opposite on site 2?
Is this correct?
From Site 1 SEPM
Priority 1
172.17.21.154
Priority 2
172.22.23.140
From site 2 SEPM
Priority 1
172.22.23.140
Priority 2
172.17.21.154
Site priority settings don’t replicate? If I setup site 2 it won’t overwrite to site 1?
Question: Citrix Policy – Does applying same policies on different priorities append the policy settings?
Answer: No, applying same policy however different settings in them will not append it, however, it will replace the policy altogether.
An example:
We have defined the following policy twice under different priority- “Directories to synchronize”:
One is set on priority 1 and the other is set to priority 2
The policy setting for priority 1 is: “AppDataRoamingMicrosoft”
The policy setting for priority 2 is: “AppDataRoamingCitrix”
So the two settings will not be appended.
The policy with the higher precedence will take over the lower priority.
And only 1 setting will be applied: “AppDataRoamingMicrosoft”
