If you are outside the US, go ahead and use Linux all you want. None of these patents can touch you anyway. If MS were serious about their patents being infringed by Linux, Steve Balmer would take time out from throwing chairs to tell his lawyers to sue someone. Is there a limitation for how long you can know about an infringement and not sue? Linux is open source, so MS et al should be able to sue pretty quickly. By not doing so, it can be argued that you don't care to enforce - surely you have a duty to limit your damages by notifying infringement as early as you can?
