Personally, if someone can show that fat long filenames are the only thing that falls under the patent, I think it would be great if support for them got removed from linux's fat filesystems. It's not as if windows manages to use long filenames consistently anyway, so everyone knows how to deal with MICROSO~.1 already. -- see shy jo
