Hi Daniel,

There are other companies using strong patent retaliation clauses. For instance, Apple.

12.1 Termination. This License and the rights granted hereunder will
terminate:
...(c) automatically without notice from Apple if You, at any time during
the term of this License, commence an action for patent infringement
against Apple; provided that Apple did not first commence
an action for patent infringement against You in that instance.
