WebSphere runs on z/OS as well. And, if this case is valid, may impact use of Web technologies on the mainframe as well as on any other platform. So it is not mainframe specific, but might impact some mainframe users. And, since this is a patented technology, redevelopment "from scratch" doesn't matter. A patent can stop you from using code that you wrote yourself, if that code violates the patent.
