There are no MS patents in code in any GPL software. There never will
be. The Novell/SuSE people here have made that very clear. What can GPL3
seek to do, prohibit Novell from simultaneously distributing the kernel
and making an agreement with a company like MS? Lots of luck, that would
only be completely illegal.
