I'd like to release this as an open source project, but at the moment i'm not comfortable with the patent issue (i'm interested in any advice on this topic)
I live in a country outside the US (and without software patents), so should i just find a code hosting service with no relation with the US ?
Maybe i am too paranoid
Well, I would also. As what concerns GPL/Open Source/Patents - Iam also not a lawyer, but I do see some concerns - there is a good writing on this herehttps://www.fenwick.com/FenwickDocum...ent_Rights.pdf

Also, the point-of-view in the document is on the decision of commercial entity, whether to patent or to GPL a feature/program.
As long as you are not going to make money/commercialize on a product, it is always allowed to make a clean-room implementation of a program/feature. That right cannot be taken away from you.
(this means, of course, that you write it yourself from scratch or use for example GPL'ed components. No peeking in the source code of the original implementation allowed
)

"The Enforcement Team's mission is to improve intellectual property protection and enforcement domestically and abroad. Since the rights granted by a U.S. patent extend only throughout the territory of the United States and have no effect in a foreign country, an inventor who wishes patent protection in other countries must apply for a patent in each of the other countries or in regional patent offices. Almost every country has its own patent law, and a person desiring a patent in a particular country must make an application for patent in that country, in accordance with the requirements of that country"
