NASA To Auction Automated Code Generation Patents

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that-doesn't-seem-right dept.

coondoggie writes "NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center said it is set to auction an exclusive license to five patents it holds for automated software development on November 11, 2010. NASA said the technology was originally developed to handle coding of control code for spacecraft swarms, but it is applicable to any commercial application where rule-based systems development is used."
