See also this article (http://www.informationweek.com/news/ showArticle.jhtml?articleID=206900525), which warns open source projects to stay clear.

It's still unclear to me what's the difference between coding something after reading a protocol's documentation vs. coding something after reverse-engineering the same protocol. The resulting code is exactly the same, all origined by the developer. As patents don't care where you've your ideas from, the patent relevance of such code is the same as well.

Could somebody kindly please sketch up a scenario which shows what to avoid?


Thanks,
Markus
