> I didn't know about possible patents, that sucks. (I live in the EU, though, so I can still give them the finger if I need to.)
Hamburg made this IP risk pretty clear in the paper, for a bit more context on it, see [1]. Because in the U.S. you have a full year before you even need to file a patent after publishing, we'll still have to wait and see if Hamburg's employer files a patent on his method. If they don't, nice; if they do, fucking hell this is why we can't have nice things. Renes/Costello/Batina is unencumbered as far as I know.
