OK. so the _concept_ of deriving a profile from 2 files which describes their difference is patented, regardless of the software used to do it. Clearly you cannot offer code which implements that concept. In the case that I wanted to write some code for my own use: - Could it be done using the Python wrapper? (I know Python, not C) - Would it be very involved? (I can imagine, and would hope, that it's just a matter of substituting my actual image files as parameters where you'd normally provide the image of a target) Am I out of line for asking these questions?
