We should note that CC's explanation of the reason for patent language 
in CC0 was that the entities dedicating the content /did/ have patents 
related to that same content, and wanted to monetize them. Or they would 
not have asked for the language. IMO this refutes the argument that they 
are the parties least likely to bring suit.
