I don't follow. No one that contributes to Wine has a license for Microsoft Copyright or patent. IANAL but It seems to me that it means something like the following in layman's terms. You can use whatever you remember afterward, but you can't copy and paste source code, and accepting this license or remembering something from it does not exempt you from patent litigation. (which no one is exempt from anyway) I'll email Microsoft licensing for clarification, but again it seems pretty cut and dry to me.
