In VTK, the only code that is patented is the mpeg2 encoder. All the other patented algorithms were either replaced or their patents expired. The inclusion of mpeg2 in VTK is an oversight. We will make it an external dependency in the next patch of VTK 5. I would suggest waiting until then to include VTK in a distribution.
