However, there is also an additional license restriction (found in "PATENTS"): Mutual Termination for Patent Action. The License for the use of Webmin shall terminate automatically and You may no longer exercise any of the rights granted to You by this License if:

1. You file a lawsuit in any court alleging that any software that is licensed under this license infringes any patent claims that are essential to use that software.

2. You file a lawsuit in any court alleging that any OSI Certified open source software that is licensed under any license containing a "Mutual Termination for Patent Action" clause infringes any patent claims that are essential to use that software.

This is not compatible with either GPLv2 or GPLv3. This goes much further than the patent termination provision in GPLv3.
