If anyone did start patent litigation against one of the Perl users  
(and we'd really prefer they don't), and triggered  section 13, then  
their right to redistribute under 4(c)(ii) is revoked along with the  
rest of the license.

You have to have copyright (because you own the package or because  
someone granted rights to you) before you can distribute to anyone.
