But that was my question -- if I only put out a piece of source code, is that itself a patent infringement? Or is that speech, as in publishing a description of a working model of what is patented? In other words, drawing up blueprints for an engine design won't (or shouldn't) get you into a patent suit, only building/selling that engine. So I was hoping that source code would be treated the same.
