If you thought software patents were bad, you ain't seen nothing yet.
Software that implements other party's APIs might be obligated to agree to a licensing agreement - projects like Wine, Samba and various 3rd-party emulators. Ironically, Microsoft's discontinued, Android-compatible project Astoria would be exposed (to both Google and Oracle) - Microsoft submitted an amicus in the first Oracle v Google case supporting Oracle's cause. I am not sure if Xamarin- and Cordova-/Phonegap-type projects would be subject to Apple's lawsuits.
I also suspect web-APIs might also become risky, making it possibly for Amazon to sue you for providing AWS-compatible APIs[1] for example
Disclamer: I am not a lawyer, this is just my layman's perspective.
It's far, far larger than that. Netscape implemented the Blink tag first and other browsers followed suit. Now Netscape (or whoever owns that copyright) can sue all browsers that implement the Blink tag.
