Nevermind, I just re-read the text of v2, and it seems more limited in scope that what I previously thought.
> If You institute patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
I was also trying to thing of some pathalogical edge case in which I release something under an Apache license in order to preempt a lawsuit that I've infringed on someone else's patent... but I guess that doesn't make sense, since that would require that they accept the terms of the license to begin with.
So, I guess that's not really as much of a problem as I thought.
