I am not sure why we should draw a distinction between patent and copyright licenses.
Patent law and copyright law are very different things. Further, patents cannot apply to software in all laws, so having these non-existant things interfering with copyright licensing is usually a bad sign.
I'm not particularly interested in the GPL's behaviour with patents just now. It seems a bit off-topic for a thread discussing the OSL and I've some trees to preserve.
