This is not entirely true, search for the word 'patent' in the GPL 2 
text at: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt

The OP's assertion is probably incorrect, but to say there is no patent 
clause is equally incorrect. Of course, the use of the clause and what 
it does is another argument (and would no doubt, require a lawyer). :)

Kind Regards,
