[License-review] License Approval Request: BSD-3-Clause-Open-MPI

The added language, referring only to third parties patents, seems an extension of the liability disclaimer clause, therefore it is not a patent-carve-out provision.

I don't see much problem here and the submission is impeccable and eloquent.
