Though my original answer might be more common the correct
answer in Germany is yes: According to German Patent Law
�11(1) a patent doesn't cover private acts with
non-industrial purposes. Probably interesting for developers
is that a patent doesn't cover acts with experimental
purposes, that aim at the object of the patented invention
(�11(2)).
Thought, you'd like to know.
