All predicated on Bruce Perens's assumption (and apparently that of Eben Moglen as well) that Novell either already has inserted or has plans to insert patented material into GPL-licenced software, particularly the kernel.
Let me reaffirm that we're not going to infringe on valid patents - wherever they came from. Especially: We will not - and we cannot since it would violate the GPL - add knowingly patented code to GPL code.
