The thing is we've had this ruling in place forever, a lot of people misunderstood it, I only recently educated myself on the topic. HW vendors do not pay for patents. The legal list posting above is a perfect example of why technical people should not play at being lawyers. Think of it like a jigsaw puzzle, where the person who places the last piece in the puzzle pays the license. But then stop thinking of it like that and just assume it's a lot vaguer and way more legally involved than that.
