This has been repeated multiple times recently but that is still
wrong. For patent-encumbered sure we cannot ship them without a patent
license but
there is no legal reason why we couldn't ship non free software
(assuming the license allows redistribution) ... not saying that we
should but claiming
"we can't for legal reasons" is just plain wrong.
