That may be what was said in a discussion, but it is incorrect. If your company sues Facebook for a patent, then you lose the extra patent grant, which means you would have only the original BSD license. Which is what ASF seems to want the software license under anyway.
The patent grant from FB grants you strictly more rights than BSD alone (though admittedly, you could lose those extra rights).
