FAT filesystem license needed from Microsoft?

[Thomas Doerfler]

Hi,

I just came around the following page from Microsoft (due to a 
message on a german newsticker):

http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/ip/tech/fat.asp

Does this mean, that we would have to pay royalties to 
Microsoft whenever we use a FAT disc? Or is it only for 
removable FAT disks? 

Or should I stop asking stupid (dangerous) questions?

wkr,
