You are aware that the GPL deals with those, and that without dealing with them, its copyleft would be easily defeated. For example: I modify a GPL program adding a major new feature. Being an Evil Software Conglomorate(sp?), I decide I really want to hold my changes proprietary. So I patent them. Sure, you can have the source, but you can't use it without a patent license from me!
