Note that patent issues are a major problem for small companies as Qi. I know 
it is annoying, but these guys are not to blame. If you think this is a 
problem:
(a) port it yourself and offer it to the community;
(b) work around it if you can.

It usually is a minor annoyance. Convert the stuff and you're home free. With 
a standard Linux machine this should not pose too much of a problem.
