I believe that, before adding any form of sub-pixel anti-aliased glyph 
rendering to an official distribution, the patent/license situation 
surrounding such technologies should be considered by the ReleaseTeam and/or 
the Board.

For a very clear and concise appraisal, please see 
http://david.freetype.org/cleartype-patents.html

I have chosen to separate the sub-pixel aa parts of the FreeType Plus 
packages from the patent free parts. I have also included warnings in the 
descriptions of the sub-pixel package release on SqueakMap.

Just a heads-up
Cheers,
Andy
