Pantent infingments?

[Earle Beason]

With all the gruff about patent infringement going on, I thought I would 
investigate th i am most likely to have violated so I took a look at the 
licensing page for it, and I discovered a wonderful blurb

"However, no license is needed for private, non-commercial activities 
(e.g., home-entertainment, receiving broadcasts and creating a personal 
music library), not generating revenue or other consideration of any 
kind or for entities with associated annual gross revenue less than US$ 
100 000.00."

I checked out the site for DVD but it wasn't expressively clear, so i 
asked them in an email, I'll share the response when it gets back.

Anybody else know of any possible patents that could have been violated 
by the open source project as Microsoft has claimed?
