Ok, but I thought this from an LWN comment by Bradley Kuhn might be useful in upping the signal/info on the topic:

"I just posted a call for Microsoft to upstream exfat into Linux as a show of good faith that their intention is to stop patent shakdowns against the software freedom community(1). I urge everyone to carefully read the OIN agreement and their Linux System Definition(2) to understand the limits of OIN's limited patent non-aggression pact."
