even if I dislike patent Samsung has no right to ignore Microsoft patent. Instead manufactors should not use exfat et all until Microsoft decide to wipe the patents.

I don't think that releasing the source to a reimplementation violates any patents but you do raise a good point as you could be stung if you use or redistribute it and you haven't licensed it from Microsoft. I believe that Samsung has purchased licences which is how they are able to use it in their products.
