Well, it's a good thing you're not on the hook for defending against it, then.

Like I said in another comment, you don't have a license just because they're cool and look neat. You have them specifically to guard against people like patent trolls, who are trying to wreck your shit and take your lunch money. It's not an abstract risk.

If you are on the hook for defending against it, and your risk assessment is based on emotional, irrational fear and not an objective understanding of the risks, then you're doing people a disservice and should step down.
