Given the age of TrueType, wouldn't nearly all patents be expired already?

Apache2's license I've heard described as mutually-assured-patent-destruction - if you use the code and make a patent claim, your rights to use the code go away.

So Apache2 offers little benefit here, and MIT may get it into more hands?
