As far as infringing patents goes, it is no big deal.  Microsoft infringes on many software patents.  So does every major software vendor.  But those who can't balance their infringements with some patents of their own have to pay some royalties.  Sure its hard for free loaders like Red Hat to accept that they do have to pay a little some times.  But I expect that they will survive.
