<html><head><style type="text/css"><!-- DIV {margin:0px;} --></style></head><body><div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><DIV>Hi I have a query about the following softwares that are licensed under GPL2 and IBMPL</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>OCFS2 - GPL</DIV>
<DIV>Postfix - IBMPL</DIV>
<DIV>iSCSI - Open standard</DIV>
<DIV>Dovecot - GPL</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If I understand correctly you cannot claim intellectual property over this software, but lets say you have configured a combination of this software in a special way or even have added a patch to the software can you then claim intellectual property over the way its configured? I would guess the answer is NO since it is publicly available softwareand unless you patent the patches or configuration it is public domain?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>thank you,</DIV></div><br>
