I would agree with you, but it seems like if people have patent
something, they tend to be more open with spreading the word about their
work. So for someone trying to learn something new, there might be a
point to look into a patented work.
I have no interest in any commercial use of it. For me it is just a
learning experience, but also would like to share it on opencores. That
is where the legal issues comes in.
