They'd still have to leave out the stuff that had patent issues.
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 http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/211366/microsoft_purchasing_88...
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.
