Open-source vs. proprietary does not speak to patented vs. patent-free. Those are different dimensions you could measure software against (e.g., I could have open-source software that depends on some patent, or proprietary -- i.e., closed-source -- software that is patent-free). However, AFAIK almost all the software at jabber.org and jabbercentral is labeled as to its licensing (though not necessarily in relation to any patents).
