[kictanet] Reverse engineering - or patent infringement?

[Walubengo J]

@Andrea,

Reverse engineering - or patent infringement?

If I was Prof. Kamau, I would carefully ride on both - depending on the convenience of the laws applicable and the demand for public good. Draw the parallel with generic HIV medicines...

Dear listers,

Prof. Kamau, University of Nairobi's engineering school has successifully reverse engineered the converter box for digital TV.  Those willing to visit the fab lab next week should register with Awiti in my office.  His e-mail is nawiti at information.go.ke.




I am hoping soon we can reverse engineer the ipad so that we can use it to distribute e-books to all kids in the country and avoid this theft of textbooks.



Regards.
