  > OpenBSD is not being "silly" they have solid reasons They're entitled to their opinion, but I'm entitled to think they're silly. In particular, it's weird that they hate the termination clause of the patent grant in the Apache licence, when BSD licenced code doesn't even contain an explicit patent licence.

    In addition, the clause about the patent license is problematic because a patent license cannot be granted under Copyright law, but only under contract law, which drags the whole license into the domain of contract law. I don't think they like patents in their licenses at all.
