Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
      use, offer to sell, sell, import, ** modify, reproduce, distribute ** and
      otherwise transfer the Work...

After going through it many times, will making the above changes in
the original license (marked by **) provide patent grants to forks ?

Regards.
