AFAICS this wouldn't be an issue for 'legitimate' mailers anyway - Their emails probably aren't designed to circumvent anti-spam filters in AOL no more than they are in any other ISPs mail servers. This means that the only emails affected are the ones AOL know are bypassing the filters... so call me old fasioned, but if you know they are bypassing the filters you know the emails exist, ergo you can update your filters. I wonder how AOL plan to identify legitimate personal emails from mailing list emails o.O
From TFA, it's the license thats infectious, not the software itself... perhaps your linux box may have infected your BSDL toaster and kitchen sink and dual-licensed them with GPL:)
... for the sake of all mankind, test your backups.
A backup strategy creating backups you could never use to restore your data is no better than not backing up at all.

Perhaps there is some kind of license Anti-Virus app that will stop these 'infectious' licenses from spreading even further!
