If that's all it did, I'd be fine with it. However, I don't like the
side-effect of making Apache users defenseless against unrelated
software patent attacks from Apache contributors.
I believe Arnoud Engelfriet mentioned that this clause (#5) has been
removed from the draft. I havn't checked. If so, that's good; this
is clearly the most problematic clause.
