As far as I see, Apache vs. GPLv2 incompatibility shouldn't bother
Mercurial.  Patent clause in question only covers
contributions/derivative works, and this explicitly doesn't
include linking:

[quote from http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0]

For the purposes of this License, Derivative Works shall not
include works that remain separable from, or merely link (or bind
by name) to the interfaces of, the Work and Derivative Works
thereof.
