+If you look hard enough, just about any significant software is probably
+violating a software patent in some country in the world (see
+http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/en/m/dangers/linux.html).  Any criteria
+used to determine "tainted" or not has to be more concrete than "seems" to
+be covered by valid patents.  Under that criteria, the Linux kernel would
+have to go into tainted since it violates patents by Microsoft, Bedrock
+Computer Technologies, McDonnell Douglas, etc.
