A database containing more than 500 software patents and backed by big-name vendors has been posted online to foster development of litigation-free open source.

Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) has launched its Patent Commons Project with backing from IBM - the industry's largest holder of technology patents - Computer Associates International (CA), Novell, Red Hat, Intel and Sun Microsystems.
