FYI, Go itself has the same file

https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/PATENTS

    I’ve been going through licensing for the 2.1 release and found this file:
    
./traffic_stats/vendor/golang.org/x/net/PATENTS<http://golang.org/x/net/PATENTS>
    
    This looks like it places some of the same restrictions that caused the 
whole Facebook React.js and rocksDb controversy a few months ago.
    Fun reading here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-303
    There’s some in depth discussion of the detailed Facebook license, I can’t 
even begin to speculate how that compares to this Google conditional patent 
grant.
    
    We can see what the IPMC/Legal thinks or maybe just remove the code?
