Please spend a few minutes using google on this topic. We had a long
drawn out thread about this before. 

Some people from time to time think they have figured out how to get
around the patents. The rest of us remind them that the patents are
secured by large corporations from around the world and some with world
wide reach. The patents are worded specifically to have made it through
even in the places that don't allow software patents. You will find that
the patent holders tend to discourage any usage that isn't easily
inventoried such as in a chip. That is why the per unit cost is low for
an embedded device but is insane for a software implementation.
