> I talk about how patents/copyright stifles innovation and creative
thinking

Realy? The GPL depends on copyright law....

I don't think the notion of patents is evil (I don't think a capitalist
economy can develop without patents, who would pay for the development
of the next generation of medicines?), but the current implementation is
certainly flawed (to put it mildly).

Ask artists, authors, etc what they think about a world without
copyright... Ask the rest of the world what they think of a world
without artists, authors, etc.

Something that expresses that the idea of patents is good but the
current practice is bad:

patentflaws, patentbugs, buggypatents, sillypatents, stupidpatentsystem,
etc
