If I were a patent troll, I would get a Windows computer with a slightly old version of Microsoft Office and nothing else on it.
Even if the entire FOSS community decided to adopt a patent termination clause right now, it cannot retroactively apply to whatever fragments of FOSS code that has found its way into proprietary products so far. So I'm safe as long I don't install any new software until I'm done trollin'.
Your idea would make sense If all the FOSS that was ever written came with a patent termination clause. But that's not the world we live in.
