As you said, under "17 USC 109", the patch of the GPL software is
not a copy or a derivative work of the GPL software, so, I can
distribute the patch under whatever license I want, right? The
patch should not be limited by the software license which I patched
for, right?
Ask yourself the following, and all your questions will be answered:
Does the patch work without the GPLed software? If it doesn't, then
it is clearly a deriviate work. The opposite isn't true in all cases,
and requires a more detailed explanation about the patch and how it
interacts with the GPLed program.
