Are you sure about this? I can't find any documentation supporting this. I thought they could only bring defensive action with their own patents, which aren't affected by this, and that the members only agreed not to associate patents against the Linux system against each other, where the Linux system apparently does not include Android.

And MS gets "certain [Novell] IP assets" Posted Nov 23, 2010 1:31 UTC (Tue) by BrucePerens (guest, #2510) [Link] When they started the organization they sang a very different tune than they do today, which included the patents of members. I think there is a lot about OIN that is not on the web site. I always felt that most industry-sponsored patent defense activities around Linux were more about defending software patenting than Linux. I doubt we can even get a straight answer from OIN on this issue.
