    Patents expire after 20 years.

  2. Re:A patent may be used non-commercially... on SCO Might Sue Linus for Patent Infringement? · · Score: 1


    This is patently incorrect (pardon the pun).

    Patents cannot be used without a license,
    -- even for personal non-commercial use.

    Could it be you're mixing things up with
    copyright? Under the fair use exclusion it
    is OK to make a copy of a copyrighted work
    for non-commercial purposes -- such as for
    backup, study or review.
