I went are read the sumary of the patent from the links provided. Not a layer, but I do not think it applies to ANT maybe to scriptdef, but that seemed like a streach.
What I understood is that they pattented having
a bunch of different scripts in different languages
all sitting on the same file separated by XML tags
and being able to call each separate script in the collection from a menu.
So, it sound not like a pattent on scripting, but on how to store collections of scripts in one file and being able to execute them.
Any pattent layer around?
I do know this from spending time with them.
*never declare in any written form any belief that any product you have infringes on any patent you become aware of*
This is important, it complicates the legal defence, if, during a period of discovery, your statements are found and used against you.
So stop worrying. At least in public. And not even email in private. Use a phone, don't leave messages on an answering machine, write nothing down.
