Commercial Use #48

Open stenpiren opened 4 years ago

Can this be used commercially without violating the Google patent: https://patents.google.com/patent/US7158961 ???

milosgajdos commented 10 months ago

Looks like the patent has now expired

Status Expired - Lifetime

so I'd think it's safe to use commercially.
