I do not thing it is possible to create any application without
breaking someones patents. I guess you should read FFII [1] website and
look at their demonstration of patents [2].

Anyway only interesting thing there is:
Filed: February 9, 2001
So it is no problem as it was two years after initial phpMyAdmin
release. In case we use something patented there, I thing you have good
chance to win if they decide to sue you.

Why not? I doubt there is enforceable patent that would cover it.

Was a joke, with the above mentioned patent in mind. (As this patent
covers AJAX ... and Flash, Java aso.)

What I take away from that discussion is that the patent only covers
generation/editing of rich media with rich media apps. So, for example, a
Flash-based AJAX editor. It still sounds bogus, but it's considerably
narrower than covering all AJAX and Flash apps.
