Until there's a shown active threat in regard to a specific software patent there's no point worrying about it, else we'd worry about every piece of code. There's no point worrying about it anyway, KDE generally only ships source code which isn't affected by patents and patents only apply in a limited number of countries (in software typically just the US), no reason why the rest of the world should be limited by them. At most we should send a note to our downstreams. Jonathan
