Hi,

if I want to implement  an algorithm or visualization technique in an 
open source project  (in fact: squeak) which was presented  in a public 
paper (in this case IEEE Computer Graphics & Visualization), do I need 
the agreement of the authors ? That's a question related to the current 
situation of software patents and copyright as given by law of USA.  My 
feeling says: I need the agreement.

Greetings


Hans
