Just thought it might be useful to add a link to a posting
by Bruce Perens on this subject in debian-devel mailing list.

He doesn't see a problem with GPL implementations of
field-of-use patent encumbered algorithms, so long as
the relevant code is not used to do anything outside
the permitted field.
