Yes. Fortunately we've not come across that many
patents that conflict with
our goals (2 in 8 years). ReactOS already "violate" the US SEH patent by using
a frame-based approach to exception handling on a stack, but if we don't
implement it then ReactOS is practically useless. We could choose to release
a version without SEH for US citizens, but so far no one has bothered to do so.
From what I know this SEH patent only applies to SEH
support integrated
in a compiler, not general usage.
