[Christoph Lampert]

Hi, 

two small links for you entertainment: 

the GPL license quiz: Do _you_ know what rights and duties you have?
 
http://www.fsf.org/cgi-bin/license-quiz.cgi



About Software Patents and GPL (in german):

http://www.ifross.de/ifross_html/art4.html

In short it explains what GPL says: You cannot use patented algorithms 
in GPL software, unless the patent is "free to use" for all users of this
software.
