Yeah, Lovey,
It is just like the folks at Trailer Life magazine use Microsoft products for their CD directory. It requires 1.1 GB of hard drive space, and only works with Microsoft OSes and a 500 Mhz or faster CPU.

Open source systems would have placed it on CDs as a WEB Page that could be accessed by any browser and required NO hard drive space.

When the patents are dedicated to the public domain, then and only then is it safe to use them.
