I am totally against software patents but here is a simple solution
for the above, for anyone who wants to use a patent to defend their
code.
Register a patent and state that anyone can implement this patent for
their own use but may not distribute code (source or binary) based on
the patent except under the GNU GPL, version 2 or later.
Remember to throw this by a patent lawyer first (IANAL, etc).
Still, software patents are definitely the Wrong Thing.
