I wait with some interest to see if delivers the goods. If it does then that will be massive for me personally, as I spend most of my time building C++ code. Great that they want to release it as open source as well, although I'm guessing they're going to be charging for it. And if they aren't, then they really should be.

  Patenting by itself is no harm. Many open-source licenses grant an explicit or implicit patent license to the source code. So, open-source + patented is certainly possible. A recent example is the case where Google bought patent license from MPEG-LA for VP8 codec. And then Google sublicensed it, giving a royalty-free patent license for every user of VP8 codec, along with the source code.
