How are his papers of no use to BCH? I agree with you on patents being enforced by the state and that is wrong. But I see it as a defensive move to retain the IP to the BCH Chain ONLY.
Re-read their "open license". It is retaining the IP to no one but themselves.
Is this Bad or Good? I'm really not sure @im_uname. As I understand it, the IP is free to use for any developers in the Bitcoin Cash blockchain. Does nChain have an endGame?

Your understanding is wrong.
"Just like Microsoft's Limited Public License has a platform limitation for free usage, nChain's license limits free usage to the Bitcoin Cash blockchain."

It is not free for any developers on BCH. It is free for developers who ask and get permission - big difference. Actually read the damn license, not just PR release.
