My understanding is that we're *already* going off guesswork. We're guessing that going against software patents completely is a better approach to any of the alternatives, without having consulted with any legal experts. Unless things have changed since LCA?
Maybe some legal experts should be talked to - not necessarily formal consulting, but could try talking to legal expert/s that would be sympathetic and would have an opinion on it already.
