The example doesn't mention this as a requirement.

The example doesn't mention this as a requirement, either. 

The example only has one "if statement":

   For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free
   redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies
   directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could
   satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from
   distribution of the Library.

This if statement seems to be true, and I therefore still don't
understand your reasoning.

I do appreciate your willingness not discuss these matters, though.

Cheers,
