ScummVM patent issues (Score 4, Interesting)

Hello!

I'm the author of ScummVM.

I've support for iMuse (which is the music engine used in some SCUMM games) almost finished, but since iMuse is patented by LucasArts, I'm worried about releasing it because of possible patent infringements.

Does anyone know anything about this, and if it's safe for me to release this source code?

I do live in Sweden in Europe, and as far as I know, Europe is not covered by us patent laws.

Regards,
