Sine the USPTO basically gives patents on about anything, it´s a mine
field. Basically you don´t know if something infringes on someone
else´s patent until you get sued.
Sometimes but not always.
Novell owns patents as well

So is Fedora dropping all Novell originated code?
One has to show that the particular patents in question are being
infringed by code included within Fedora.
