[ODE] Re: tokamak vs. ODE.. interesting to know

[Russ Smith]

that patent should not cover ODE - there are, i believe, many
differences between ODE and the precise technology covered in that patent.
ODE's computational core (excluding the faststep stuff) is based entirely
on work that was published by others well before that patent was even
concieved.

note that the techniques used by the "fast step" code are not even
mentioned by the patent - so if you wanted to be extra extra safe you
could just use that solver instead.

so i dont think anybody should be worrying about patent issues in this
case.
