The fact that MIT and BSD licensed code (implicit patent impunity) can be re-licensed under the Apache license (explicit patent impunity) is enough evidence for me.

Reference: http://apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-a

What does re-licensed mean? You can’t take mit licensed code and slap a Apache License on it.

You can create a derivative work and license that under Apache.
