This is not an issue of patents or anything like that. This is a license conflict issue, meaning that the binaries produced from this source package are believed to be not legally redistributable. That is believed to apply regardless of the jurisdiction as it is concerned with copyright and license law, and not patents. You are welcome to have your views on what Ubuntu should do for the benefit of its users, but please make sure you understand the issue at hand when commenting on a particular bug report.
