Obdisc: we do have pending patents, I expect the license terms for theses

in software patents but others do and fighting even a bogus patent is
horrendously expensive.

It's either RAND ("reasonable and non-discriminatory") *or* RF ("royalty
free"). RF is *massively* preferred, as RAND cannot be used by
free/open-source software, since it requires the payment of "reasonable
and non-discriminatory" royalty fees.
No patent at all is much, much, more preferred of course; I'm very sorry
to hear you've taken this route. :(
