I think its you who is not taking the trouble to read, please read http://freetype.sourceforge.net/patents.html but in any case as mentioned in my previous email IT DOES NOT AFFECT YOU because you are running 2.1.2-7 from sarge and the bytecode interpreter was turned off in 2.1.2-8 in sid and was then turned back on in 2.1.2-10 so when freetype drops from sid into sarge it will be 2.1.2-10 or higher and the bytecode interpreter will still be working.
