While I don't really think that it poses any threat to wmii right now (as it's distributed from Germany), the threat of software patents in general is definitely a big issue and fighting against them is hard. Many more people could still lend a helping hand there. Don't know what chances there are to get rid of them in the US, but in Europe every single person makes a difference. Greetings Denis
