Nobody here will argue with you about that. But that rather misses the point. Were I a Red Hat shareholder I'd be awfully pissed off if they included MP3 support in their distro while saying, "We know we'll get sued, but fuck them all, because software patents are stupid and pointless." It is not a viable strategy for a company that wishes to be profitable to martyr itself.
