Canonical, OIN's 1st Associate Member, Commits to Freedom of Action in Open Source

OIN has just announced a new associate membership program, and Canonical is the first associate member:
OIN Associate Members, such as Canonical, demonstrate support and commitment to limiting the effects of patent disputes in Linux. Canonical's activities and those of all companies seeking to adopt and use Linux will be facilitated as OIN works closely with Canonical and other companies that are supporting Linux's growth and expansion. Through the support of its founding members including IBM, NEC, Novell, Philips, Red Hat and Sony, OIN has amassed a broad portfolio of patents, including patents held by nominees on its behalf....
"We view Open Invention Network as one of the key methods through which open source leaders and innovators can deter patent aggression," said Jane Silber, CEO of Canonical. "We are committed to freedom of action in open source, and have noted OIN's efforts to actively defend and enable the Linux ecosystem. By becoming an OIN Associate Member, we are supporting the broad OIN mission and its commitment to enable and protect Linux's advancement."
One thing for sure I know about Mark Shuttleworth. He's brave. Microsoft doesn't cause him to cower in fear. And I'll tell you what I know about OIN. They know how to fight to win.

ost::UDPReceive(3)					     Library Functions Manual						ost::UDPReceive(3)

NAME
ost::UDPReceive - Representing half of a two-way UDP connection, the UDP receiver can receive data from another peer host or subnet. SYNOPSIS
#include <socket.h> Inherits ost::UDPSocket. Inherited by ost::UDPDuplex. Public Member Functions ssize_t receive (void *buf, size_t len) Receive a data packet from the connected peer host. bool isInputReady (timeout_t timeout=TIMEOUT_INF) See if input queue has data packets available. Protected Member Functions UDPReceive (const IPV4Address &bind, tpport_t port) Create a UDP receiver, bind it to a specific interface and port address so that other UDP sockets on remote machines (or the same host) may find and send UDP messages to it, and associate it with a given port on a peer host. UDPReceive (const IPV6Address &bind, tpport_t port) Error connect (const IPV4Host &host, tpport_t port) Associate this socket with a specified peer host. Error connect (const IPV6Host &host, tpport_t port) bool isPendingReceive (timeout_t timeout) Check for pending data. void endReceiver (void) End receiver. SOCKET getReceiver (void) const Error setRouting (bool enable) Error setMulticast (bool enable) Error join (const IPV4Multicast &ia) Error join (const IPV6Multicast &ia) Error drop (const IPV4Multicast &ia) Error drop (const IPV6Multicast &ia) Additional Inherited Members Detailed Description Representing half of a two-way UDP connection, the UDP receiver can receive data from another peer host or subnet. This class is used exclusivily to derive the UDPDuplex. Author: David Sugar dyfet@ostel.com Unreliable Datagram Peer Associations. Constructor &; Destructor Documentation ost::UDPReceive::UDPReceive (const IPV4Address &bind, tpport_tport) [protected] Create a UDP receiver, bind it to a specific interface and port address so that other UDP sockets on remote machines (or the same host) may find and send UDP messages to it, and associate it with a given port on a peer host. On failure to bind, an exception is thrown. Parameters: bind address to bind this socket to. port number to bind this socket to. ost::UDPReceive::UDPReceive (const IPV6Address &bind, tpport_tport) [protected] Member Function Documentation Error ost::UDPReceive::connect (const IPV4Host &host, tpport_tport) [protected] Associate this socket with a specified peer host. The port number from the constructor will be used. All UDP packets will be sent received from the specified host. Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error. Parameters: host host network address to connect socket to. port host transport port to connect socket to. Reimplemented from ost::UDPSocket. Reimplemented in ost::UDPDuplex.
