Summary: The UPC's preparatory committee (Unified Patent Court Committee) is pretending not to understand that London is neither in France nor in Italy; this whole scandal serves to show how Team UPC basically tarnishes the reputation of the European Union and national governments, in effect repudiating the state and the Rule of Law (this is an offence in Germany)
At this point it would be rather foolish to assume that IBM will let Red Hat just "do its own thing" or maintain its corporate culture, identity, projects etc.
