[yocto] VFAT patent EP 0 618 540

[Gorny Krystian]

Hi,
I have a question regarding the VFAT patent (EP 0 618 540) owned by Microsoft. It's about common name space for long and short filenames. I have read that this patent was canceled by Germany / EU, but it's still available in the US right? So is there a patch/option where we can activate to avoid this patent?
Thanks
Krystian
