Patent retaliation
Patent retaliation clauses are included in several free software licenses, including version 3 of the GNU General Public License. The goal of the clause is to discourage the licensee (the user/recipient of the software) from suing the licensor (the provider/author of the software) for patent infringement, by immediately terminating the license upon the initiation of such a lawsuit.
