Licensing agreement?

Parent article: InfiniBand: a proprietary standard?

I fail to see how the licensing agreement quoted makes anybody believe that you can't distribute or develop free software support of Infiniband. Greg K-H's messages make it a little more clear that non-members can be sued, but the article doesn't say that at all.

If at a later stage patents are included in the standard Free Software cannot fully implement the standard without knowingly infringing patents. Is that the problem?
