Are you saying that there's code in the kernel that is subject to your patent? If there is, then it should definitely be taken out. First, as Linus has stated recently (and as has been the policy for a while), the kernel should avoid having any patented code (http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0312.2/0624.html). Second, "RTLinux Free" is being ported over to Adeos (http://www2.fsmlabs.com/pipermail/rtl/2003-December/013178.html).
