The revocable patent language is probably harmless, because it looks to be somewhat similar to the revocable patent clause already considered acceptable in the Apache 2.0 license. Does need legal review though. Even if the patent clause is a problem, openexr grants the option to consume it under the terms of the Apache 2.0, instead of the BSD + patent grant.
