Re: Advanced text entry on Sailfish (Swype or similar)
 

Now I am not an expert on SW patents, but AFAIK there can be no problems whatsoever when something that is patented is released as open source / free software.

Patents are only enforceable if you are making money on the product.

Very impressive! I'm eager to try it.

Regarding being paranoid :) Well, I would also. As what concerns GPL/Open Source/Patents - Iam also not a lawyer, but I do see some concerns - there is a good writing on this here

Re: Advanced text entry on Sailfish (Swype or similar)
 

That is a good document, but as I see it has been written from the point-of-view of an US based law firm, it holds only in the US (just as it says on the final caption, "there's no such thing as a world-wide patent")

Also, the point-of-view in the document is on the decision of commercial entity, whether to patent or to GPL a feature/program.

As long as you are not going to make money/commercialize on a product, it is always allowed to make a clean-room implementation of a program/feature. That right cannot be taken away from you.
(this means, of course, that you write it yourself from scratch or use for example GPL'ed components. No peeking in the source code of the original implementation allowed :))

"The Enforcement Team's mission is to improve intellectual property protection and enforcement domestically and abroad. Since the rights granted by a U.S. patent extend only throughout the territory of the United States and have no effect in a foreign country, an inventor who wishes patent protection in other countries must apply for a patent in each of the other countries or in regional patent offices. Almost every country has its own patent law, and a person desiring a patent in a particular country must make an application for patent in that country, in accordance with the requirements of that country"
