Beta test versions of Bitstream Vera Font family are now available. Note that while you may
download these fonts for your personal use, the beta
test versions may not be redistributed at all. The link below describes
both the current version, (named 1.0, as that is the versions embedded in
the font files), and the draft copyright for the final version, due out
next month.

How patent-friendly are these fonts?

Has anyone checked out the differences between bytecode-impaired, autohinting and all the thousands of options you can get to render Truetype fonts? Have they been specifically designed to render well without the patent-encumbered stuff or do they just work well without it?

I'm asking this BECAUSE I'm to lazy to check up on it myself.
