Yes, I know feeding patent parasites is unpleasant.  But we come back to
the central question here: do we want ideological purity at the expense of victory, or do we want actual victory so that *we* get to effectively set
the terms of software development in the future?

I know which side of that question *I* come down on...

It's a hollow and short lived victory if your payment ends up funding lawsuits against other open source software providers. Or if you set a precedent which pressures others to pay up too.

Really, given Fedora's stance on non-free software I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve here. If anyone thinks that buying a license for lame is the way forward, let them pass their hat around; I doubt it will be a fedora.
