well, wikipedia is neither a trustworthy source, particularly with such an  
issue.
the source refered to ("[42]") does not cite any kind of reliable  
information, it only presumes: "seems to be tolerated by the patent  
holders".
not being sued until now is now guarantee whatsoever it won't happen at  
all -- there have been several patent infringment law suits years and  
years after the alleged infringment started and the patent holder got  
whiff of it.
