The article was certainly vague (and inconsistant) about what the actual alledged infringment was. I suspect a Hercules user running MVT would not have to worry. The designer that built the emulation for z/instructions might have to worry. Sounds to me like you could now be sued for using the old technique of writing (E)STAE routines to emulate instructions not avalable on your model processor. Or maybe even macros that replace based instructions with relative instructions. Duplicate the behavior of an IBM instruction and you can get sued.
