I'm not a lawyer, but if patent has just been issued, shouldn't it be invalid, and cover flow design kept free over a prior art <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prior_art" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prior_art</a> ?<br>

<div>So I think it is unwise to advertise the CoverBling as it is in the<br>
beta release notes, since it is likely we will have to remove the<br>
current applet anyway. I hope we can come up with a replacement for<br>
2.3.1, there is still approx. one month till then and we could plan a<br>
feature freeze exception for the applet. I don't know how much this<br>
will affect translation for now.<br>
<br>
Your input and help is welcome, Manu seems to be keen on working on it anyway :)<br>
