The previous license overtly and explicitly recruited you into a patent war you didn't want any part of. The new license is the status quo.

Well, you're much more confident about what the MIT license implies than any of the IP lawyers I ever talked to.

Wait, what happened to IANAL. Why do you feel so confident about PATENTS. That's pretty untested too (and very strange, uncharted)
-
It is pretty explicit, though. Unlike MIT which isn't.

Not particularly strange or uncharted. This is similar text (albeit different conditions) as you find in Apache or W3C.

Not that similar. But again, "right to use unrestricted" is pretty explicit. Can you find any precedent at all that says otherwise?
-
Again. I'm just channeling what IP lawyers have told me in the past.
-
Fair enough.

strategy. Those patents, if they exist, still do.
