It somewhat makes sense that it is no-where to be found. I remember a 
story where someone else claimed that BSD was using original "unix" code 
(both shall remain nameless until I find a link or someone else who 
remembers more).

Basically, they looked into the allegations, and it ended up they were 
using ~four files (I think) from the "original".

They simply re-wrote those files and were over with it.

I suppose the same could theoretically happen with the open source 
community, and then this list of patents wouldn't be worth much.
