No
Using diff -ur freetype-2.3.12/include/freetype/config/ftoption.h 
freetype-2.4.10/include/freetype/config/ftoption.h | grep BYTE
would show you that you mixed the bytecode hinting feature 
(TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER selected by default since 2.4) with the 
subpixel rendering setting (TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER, not selected 
by default in 2.4)

Some patents expire in 2019 according to wikipedia
