It doesn't say anything about

The Sourceforge project referred to in the article (but for which no
link is given) seems to be this one:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/slicing-by-8

Yes. I had already mentioned that link in my posts.

The "files" section contains a zip archive, inside which there are three
source files all of which state that the package, which is (c) Intel
Corp. 2004-2006, is released under the BSD license, with this URL:

http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.html

Again, no mention of patents anywhere.

I'll try to get in touch with the author and get the clarification.

Best regards,
