This is a red herring. I am amazed at the incompetence of Yahoo's lawyers. The GPL is a _copyright_ license, not a _patent_ license. From a legal PoV, those are two almost completely different things, so even if the GPL could be applied to a patent, the legal implications are almost completely unknown.
