What if a third party arranges for me to get a patent license as a gift? What do I have to do to reject it? Or can't I reject it, so this clause would enable a patent holder to unilaterally entitle copyright holders to sue me for distributing their software?

This is about the deal between Microsoft and Novell, in case it's not clear.
