anyone recall the story behind Schnorr signatures not being widely adopted? was it because of patents?

What did Zama patent? Doesn't seem like a good look tbh

If @zama_fhe and @randhindi believe in their work, we invite them to compete with @sunscreentech in a way that moves the industry forward rather than engage in secret campaigns of intimidation, IP trolling, and speech suppression. Thread 🧵👇
