The stuff about patents?
Those "patent stuff" as you put it have nothing to do with the code's
license you have to be aware of them regardless the library you use or
the license the library comes with. They do restrict your use cases but
its not the library's fault or role to solve them for you.
It is the same with every mp3 library out there, you need to be aware
that mp3 is a patented algorithm and if you create a commercial product
using it you have to pay for the privilege regardless of the library's
license.
In any way I have my answer and thank you for your time.
