By just what we're seeing here, having liberal politicians pass rules that outlaw any software or formats that includes patents.

"Outlaw"? The state is making a decision about what software the state uses. Everyone else in Massachusetts can use whatever they want to. Of course, those in Massachusetts who want to read ODF documents must have software that implements ODF, but any software vendor that wants to can implement ODF... inclduing Microsoft.
