No free software could run under Windows without proper Microsoft licensing: Firefox, Libreoffice... No free software could use or implement compatible Windows services, either server or client, without proper Microsoft licensing: Samba, rdesktop... That would make Linux and Windows ecosystems fully disjoint. This would force me to use Windows to do the work I'm paid for and for which I've been using Debian for 10 years. OTOH, that would make the software patent problem fully irrelevant because copyright would cover what currently is being enfonced by patent licensing.
