[Bug 1025973] Re: ureadahead appears to violate Apple patent 7607000

[Scott James Remnant]

I haven't read the patent in question, general advise by my employers is
not to read them, but I can note a few particulars of ureadahead with
regards to the date you quote:

Development on ureadahead began in October 2009, it was based on Intel's
sreadahead for which development began in November 2008, which in turn
was based on RedHat's readahead-list for which development began in
March 2005.
