MIT is on record as saying that the MIT license, which is otherwise equivalent 
to the 2-clause BSD license, does *not* grant a patent license.

Is there a link to this? I've not found anything similar when I've looked, though I've made the same claims, in particular in reference to recent attempts by fraudsters to claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto so as to claim patent rights to his inventions (which were implemented in BSD-licensed works he published in ~2009).
