He won't.

Norwegian law opens for in essence indefinite terms for inmates deemed a lasting danger to society.

ABB was sentenced under this statute and may well be locked up for the rest of his days; he may, however, at regular intervals apply to a board for release. He must then convince this board that he is no longer a threat to society and good luck with that.

I remember there being some amount of objection to his freedom to communicate while in prison (sending letters espousing his ideology, and such). Although this evidence of his continued ideology will probably help ensure he isn't released.
