Sorry, actually that's not strictly true - the clause that indicates
that initiation of patent litigation that accuses any part of what I
currently call the Received Work (GPL 'Program') violates the
condition against imposition of 'further restrictions', using language
that deliberately tracks the patent termination clause of the Apache
License 2.0, is still present. (The corresponding clause is at the end
of GPLv3 section 10.)
