As I understand it (haven't examined it in depth though), the EU's
*software* patent law still differs significantly from the US' - there was a
lot of buzz this autumn when a new, more US-like law, was NOT passed.
I *think* I'm still free to infringe all I want as a non-US citizen, as long
as I don't sell the product that uses the patent (at least that's my secret
hope).
As an EU citizen, you're under the law of your own country.
There is no "EU law", but EU "directives" that are then implemented by
each country. In terms of OO, EU laws are only interfaces :)
There is no software patents in EU, so you cannot be sued on patent
infrigment.
