Actually it is perfectly legal in most of the world (outside USA and Japan).

I'm not quite sure if the LWN report about the CeBit inicident is correct. The police raided the booth for *devices*, not for software. None of the pure software shops have been addressed so far. I don't want to adress here if it's sensible to have patents on hardware implementations of algorithms; simply want to state that this is the case in Europe. And that seems to be the legal background for the CeBit incident, not any software patent.
