| |
Dear devs,
In a moment of serendipity I thought of a concept which may be advantageous if incorporated into the kernel. I was going to offer it to the OIN but they responded they only consider existing patents and I don't have the money to afford one.
I am seeking advice on how to proceed. It could be used as a defensive patent in which case I can email an expert who can file it. If that is the concept is sound. I am not expecting any royalties from this myself. The alternative is to dump it here to the LKML.
It should be said I'm not a kernel coder and if I attempted this I would probably do it wrong. The concept is a different way to attain performance. The area pertaining is filesystems.
Not wishing to overstate things lest the flames scorching a bad idea get too hot.
