It's the something that is burnt onto the CD/DVD that is the cause of the
infringement by the end user.
I suspect what is meant is that the software house is selling software to do
something. As such, the buyer is reasonably expected to assume that to use the
software is legal; without a licence to use a "patent", the use of the
software is, in effect, illegal.
Under UK law, the supplier of the software would be liable (for supplying goods
of an unsatisfactory nature, being unfit for purpose).
It looks to me like the president is trying to copy that and make it the
supplier of software liable for properly licensing any patents, not the end
user. How many Joe Public would know what a software patent was even if it hit
them (sic).
