OIN’s promotes patent non-aggression by cross-licensing Linux System patents to all OIN members on a royalty-free basis. Companies can join the OIN and receive its protections even if they have no patents of their own. OIN patents are also licensed royalty-free to any organization that agrees not to assert its patents against Linux and its related IP protected software.
While the US-China trade war shows no real sign of cooling down, it’s nice to see two major Chinese companies offering an IP peace offering by joining the OIN.
