Alvaro's advice is sound. If the patent holder can prove that a
developer looked at a patent (for example, from an email in a mailing
list archive) and the project proceeded with the implementation
regardless, malice can been shown and "damages" can be substantially
higher. You're screwed either way but your safest bet is to never look
at patents.
Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer- I don't even like lawyers.
Nor am I a lawyer, but I still hold that hoping "ignorance" will be a
decent defense is very, very risky. In the end I am not a pgSQL
developer so it isn't in my hands either way.
