These deals have 0% to do with law and 100% to do with politics/PR
(something that could likely be said about software patents in
general).

MS is trying hard to divide the community with moves like these.
Novell/Linspire/Xandros should be cautious about getting into bed with
MS just to try give Redhat a bloody nose or isolate them as some sort
of business-unfriendly communists. I believe that protecting their
customers has little to do with their motivation.
