Windigo has it mostly correct. The fractal quad Yagi works extremely well for a very small antenna, but does NOT work better than a full-sized Yagi--nor was this EVER claimed.
No 'fair use' license was issued. The point is that hams building fractal antennas for their own EXPERIMENTAL use are not acting as commercial entities and are not restricted by this or any other patent or patent pending.
If you want to sell'em, or get money for mAKING 'EM OR studying 'em, then there will be trouble ahead.
