CI License question

[eluser]trenchard[/eluser]
Of course you can sell applications built on CI. This is about the right to patent a solution.

The patent request is actually not ours. It is the client's plan to build a process and tool set to patent. They are not looking to resell. They are simply protecting the right to a proprietary solution. I am wondering what rights are available when building a complete CI solution. Obviously the CI library can't be patented, but it will be a foundational part of the solution if we use it.

Ellislab - can anyone clarify the brief license in this regard?
