Hi,
Unfortunately I cannot confirm or denie it. What I've done is started
the verification process with Microsoft. It usually takes a couple of
days before the answer comes. If this is true I'll publish it as well.
It wouldn't amaze me that much at all. Microsoft has recentely taken a
much friendlier approach towards OSS and their arsenal on patents is
fairly limited. In general they seek adoption of technologies like .NET
now. Patents won't help them that much.
Cheers,
Brenno.
