didn't realize apache had a patent clause. That's awesome.

The Apache-2.0 patent clause inspired the GPLv3 patent clause (previously Apache-2.0 was incompatible with GPLv2 because GPLv2 didn't have a patent clause).

This is why MIT/Apache2 dual licensed is popular; Apache2 contains a patent clause, but isn't GPL compatible, so you can use the Apache2 variant if you don't use anything GPL, but use the MIT variant if you have to have compatibility.
