Comment (by pulkomandy):
For information, Ubuntu ignores the patents and enable the feature
regardless. But, they are not owned by an US company.
Fedora provides *-freeworld packages for countries not affected by the
patents. Maybe we could do something similar, and have two alternative
freetype packages?
For this to work, we would have to make sure our code on app_server side
does not need any changes, depending on which version of FreeType is used.
