Then read it again. It's pretty clear.

No. This Apache CLA most of today's CLAs used by open source

invention, that you grant the same for those patents you own. Those
CLAs do not require that you guarantee that your contribution is
not violating any 3rd-party patents.
IANAL, but this is not what I read in these licenses. Zak told me
that this is what the ez System CLA is supposed to say as well, but
I simply do not see that in there. I have asked IBM to clear up this
point back when they first started pushing CLA's for PECL packages,
but they never got back. Anyways, maybe I am just dense, but maybe
all the CLA authors should just put in an effort to make it possible
for people to understand their licenses without having to consult a
lawyer.
