I'm traveling at the moment, but when I'm back at my desk
next week,
I'll dig into this. In the interim, please avoid making idle
speculation, especially with regard to patents.
Ok, but I thought this from an LWN comment by Bradley Kuhn might be useful in upping the
signal/info on the topic:

"I just posted a call for Microsoft to upstream exfat into Linux as a show of good
faith that their intention is to stop patent shakdowns against the software freedom
community(1). I urge everyone to carefully read the OIN agreement and their Linux System
Definition(2) to understand the limits of OIN's limited patent non-aggression
pact."
