There's no such thing as a GPL patent license.  The FSF has a longstanding 
anti-patent policy, after all.

The IPR refers to both the GPL and the patent license.  The patent license 
is fine, the typo in the header and the dead link have been there for four 
years and aren't important, since this is a document for lawyers to read, 
not code.  Really, the GPL only refers to the Sourceforge code, and nobody 
cares about that.  We should advance DKIM to draft standard now.
