Not for linux itself, no, but for desktos distros it makes it hard to keep it fully open source and free of proprietary stuff.

Saved you a click: It was the underlying mpeg-related patents used by the DivX codec. Filed by Siemens AG.

I remember back in the day that this was why everyone preferred xvid instead.
