In brief (this is informal interpretation of the patent clauses):
|

1. When some organization or individual contributes a code under Apache 2 license, they grant users of the code a non-exclusive license to use their patents in this code.

1. When some organization or individual contributes a code under Apache 2 license, they grant users of the code a non-exclusive license to use contributor's patents in this code.
|
||||
2. When some organization or individual raise legal claims about their patent violation in Apache 2 software, they loose the license to use all other patents in this software.
|
||||
|

Of course, such a license does not protect against organizations who do not use this software, but just possess some patents and want to benefit from it (e.g. patent trolls), but at least it helps real users to live in peace and share their technology.
