+And you're welcome to search for it and document this situation. Such as with:
+
+ * http://www.freetype.org/patents.html
+ * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ClearType#Patents
+ * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpixel_rendering#Patents
+
+Said patents are due to expire in 2018/19 according to these sources.
