--- Comment #1 from Benson Muite benson_muite@emailplus.org --- Thanks for this. Any idea on patents? https://moodycamel.com/blog/2013/a-fast-lock-free-queue-for-c++ indicates that though the code is BSD, but that there are many patents in this area, for example https://patents.google.com/patent/US8543743B2/en I expect this only applies to the multi-producer and multi-consumer queue as it is packaged in Debian https://packages.debian.org/source/bullseye/readerwriterqueue
Possibly consider updating the description to (remove "I" which is unclear when not in the repository, and remove external references):
An original implementation of a lock-free queue designed from scratch for C++. It only supports a two-thread use case (one consuming, and one producing). The threads can't switch roles, though you could use this queue completely from a single thread if you wish (but that would sort of defeat the purpose!).
