Keep in mind that holding a patent allows the patentholder to prohibit someone else from importing, making, selling, or using some product or practice. The MIT license gives you the rights to "use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software", and that's not even exhaustive. (See "without restriction" and "without limitation".) Is there something missing from the second list that you think needs protection from the powers granted to patentholders (the things in the first list)?
