Please up vote the point of patents lasting 15-20 years and down vote this confused claim.

Software patents are bad enough without gratuitous fear-inducing claims added.

Indeed. Judges do not rule on guilt in civil procedure. They rule on responsibility and damage. Damaging MS by looking at this very old source code and MS proving damage is not very likely.
