OpenSource does not mean that it does not infringe a patent.

But if the patent can hold in court, this is only for US citizens. Nokia should do what Debian did. Have a US repository and a non-US repository. The US would be limited in content by their patent laws, the non-US would not obey non-US laws. I don't see why a lawsuit in the US should prevent everyone in the world to use Chromium.
