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.

but now we cannot implement AJAX functionality ... :-( *g*
btw. i don't take it too hard/heavy, i just want to mention
and personally i don't care much about software patents - but phpMyAdmin is not only used in Europe ...

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.)

Sebastian, you seem to think that a US patent covers all non-european countries :)

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.
