Not really comparable to the patent grant. It's part of why Apache 2 is clearly the best license...
apache.org/licenses/LICEN
Explicit patent grant, explicitly states contributions are made available under Apache 2 (without needing CLA) and that trademarks are a separate thing.
The patent grant applied to any use of the software including in proprietary software. It's not much of a permissive license if you can't actually use it permissively due to patents. OIN is based around Linux specifically which is a lot different and even somewhat harmful.

The Blue Oak Model License does this too, in much fewer and plainer words 😗🧃

Heather Meeker's work is really interesting, and could be a solution for getting us out of this copyleft fragmentation mess.
