That implies that Linux currently infringes some of Nokia patents. Is this likely to be true?
I don't know about Nokia specifically, but in 2004, on behalf of Open Source Risk Management, Dan Ravicher made a study of Linux which concluded that "283 software patents not yet reviewed by the courts could potentially be used to support claims of an infringement against Linux."
And Linux is only 3 to 8% of the OS, depending on the definition of OS.
