Clean-room reimplementation negates the very applicability of any pre-existing *copyright* to your work. It does not affect applicability of pre-existing *patents* to your work. The court is only going to look at your "device", and if it's covered by a claim of the patent, you lose. Opinion: I think people should stop complaining about Fedora Legal, because in every instance I have heard about where Fedora's interpretation of IP law differs from the FSF's, Fedora has been more aggressive/liberal (it allows more stuff in Fedora than the FSF would). ISTM they're doing the best they can to provide the most software without embroiling Fedora, Red Hat, and their downstreams in legal trouble. Complain about IP in software, fine, of course!
